   In 2005, I liked apartment living, and my wife wanted a house out of   
   town.  A townhouse at the edge of town was the compromise.  Since   
   then, the transit train has been extended twice, the second one with a   
   stop a half mile from my house.  The bus loops among three of the   
   train stops, but there's only one bus route and the train line running   
   through my mile-by-mile community.   
      
   It is difficult to provide adequate bus service to suburbia.  And   
   Calgary has bet heavily on suburbia.
