Calgary announced a new action plan Monday to make its transit system safer after two women were stabbed last week at a light rail transit station.

Mayor Jyoti Gondek said that while the safety concerns on public transit are felt throughout the country, “this does not take away the imperative for immediate action in our city to make our system safer.”
