Alex Williams is a founding member of Calgary Transit Riders .

He says small problems can lead to big consequences when riders miss connections.

Williams : I want a city where people trust the bus to come on time (or at all) and new transit riders can navigate the system with ease.

In winter , we should not only clear stops and stations, but the pathways and sidewalks that riders use to access them.
