Not all commuters are thrilled with the new West LRT line that connects 69th Street S.W. to the downtown core.

Some Calgarians expressed their frustration with the new track online, tweeting “my morning commute time has now increased, thanks west LRT.”

Ron Collins with Calgary Transit says it’s impossible to please everyone, adding the west leg is part of a bigger picture.
