My oh my was the ride from CP to UofA slow and had 2-3 stops or super slow areas for no apparent reason.
Corona station SE entrance by First Edmonton Place was disgusting at street level, one entrance boarded up and the plaza in front of Timmy's awful and full of garbage and broken windows. What an impression.

I reload from home so I've never used the ARC dispensation interfaces. When I was in Vancouver just a few weeks ago their pass worked intermittently too. It rejected my CC but accepted my debit card. No reason.
The line towards Century Park sometimes experiences delays around Jubilee and I think that's because it's the terminus of one route and a timing point for the other. Just imagine a bus stop where two bus routes coincide but neither can depart until the other one has arrived.
When I was in Vancouver I saw a few sketchy people near the Main Street stop but that's almost expected. They were the comical television portrayal of homeless people with backpacks and slightly dramatic speech patterns and gestures. Edmonton's station entrances downtown are typically clogged with visibly disturbed people who give you that look that suggests you're about to be stabbed if you return their gaze in just the wrong way.
It's wise to wear a hoodie and other such garb on and around Edmonton's LRT to avoid giving the impression that you have any cash on you.
