It’s very inconvenient to live in Calgary without a car. I often get into trouble by just go by buses and C-train.. I have to get out of room one hour earlier everyday, then I must take the right bus to downtown and then I have to walk to the C-train station and wait again until the train came. If the bus come a little earlier or the right train arrive later I will not come to class on time unless I go out of home early enough. Sometimes I need to do shopping to buy some food, I find it very difficult to get to the destination, because one bus usually can arrive directly, I have to transfer one another and finally reach the destination. Every time I go shopping I must bring back a lot of package and they are very have heavy to carry. Especially when I am wait a bus comes every half an hour, I became anxious and feel the packages become heavier and heavier and I usually feel that the people driving in cars are laughing at me—oh, look at that miserable guy standing there. However if I had a car, things will greatly changed, I can throw all these burden onto the back of my car and drive home, maybe I can also enjoy a piece of music during the journey. The worst thing travelling by bus is that sometime you go on the wrong bus but you really don’t know that. once I go on the bus 20 which drive me to the opposite direction, because I never read the destination on the screen of a bus and I think it’s useless for me to do that because in my mind if a bus goes for one direction then the bus goes for the different deriction should go on opposite side of the road, but it’s an exception in our school, buses 20 to both destinations goes in one side of road. And once I go by bus 73, but it didn’t stop at the station near my home. So I have to take one more hour to get back to downtown by C—train. It is very inconvenient for one to know all these transit rules, I always dream that one day I could have a car.

Wow, it sounds like you are having a lot of trouble with public transportation. I take the C-Train too, but it's not so bad because I live in Kensington.
Anyway, look at the bright side. It's better for the environment!

Oh! I think the public transportation is not very bad. Some City in north America, where you must have a personal car, because there are no C-train and less buses.
