Mayor Jyoti Gondek is calling on city administration to take immediate action to tackle violence on Calgary’s public transit system.
There was a fight involving five or six people on one of the platforms. Police said two people were stabbed and one of them, a woman, was taken to hospital in critical condition.Police later said two other people were also in hospital — one with a head wound and another with a stab wound.
“Quite often I see the police trying to pull people out of the shelter because they’re sleeping in there,” she said. “It’s just something you’ve got to live with .”According to data from the CPS, the number of total crime occurrences in Q3 2022 went up by 45 per cent compared to the same period in 2021.Police said the northeast and south lines had the most criminal occurrences in the first nine months of last year.
“Unfortunately because of the decisions politicians have made and businesses have had to make, the only place that is open is public transit,” Mahar said.“The criminal element flows out the other door . When the peace officers clear out a station the criminal network flows back into the train … It’s not practical to ask for security at every station.”Mahar said the municipal, provincial and federal governments need to work together to address crime on the public transit network.
