I saw three overdoses on one CTrain ride. How about you?

He's going to overdose. I just know it. 

The man was leaning against the glass inside the bus shelter just outside the Marlborough CTrain station in broad daylight — 2 p.m. on a recent weekday. I saw him unwrap something in tinfoil and smoke from a straight glass pipe.

Scraggly black hair, a blue T-shirt, pants falling off.

Sure enough, within 30 seconds, his head rolled forward. His whole body slumped and he slid down the glass into a crouch.

His buddy shouts and runs back. Or I think it's his buddy; the guy was with him in the shelter just moments before he started to smoke. He dragged him outside and started pounding on his chest.

What the heck? That's not going to help.

"Does somebody have naloxone?" 

I'm shouting. My heart races. Do other Calgary Transit users deal with this every day?

Maybe. Police told council last week that crime and disorder on the LRT system is trending up, and we hear stories constantly on social media. Transit ridership is still down, and many people say this is why. 

To find out what's going on, I'm spending the day at three of the five most dangerous stations in Calgary.

Around me, a dozen people look on.

A mother pushing her toddler in a stroller calls 911. Finally, a woman in a security uniform runs up, puts on gloves and pumps the spray, Narcan, up his nose.

Crisis averted, for now. Paramedics arrive, the man gets up and stumbles off. But within minutes, the security officer is off running again, back across the pedestrian bridge to yet another overdose on the other side.

Nicolas Kimmel watched the chaos with me. Like many other transit customers I spoke with that day, this has become a normal occurrence for him.
