At the bus stop on W 3rd St and S Westplex Ave there are homeless individuals who camp out at the bus stops; they have mattresses, trash, and needles around them. This situation makes it unsafe for other individuals trying to ride the bus as well as causing a disturbance to the neighboring businesses. I've contact the transportation department and filed a uReport but nothing changed.

The 2 south route is being detoured and there is no information about it on the website or the app. How are people supposed to know that the bus will not arrive at their stop. The storm was three weeks ago, you should have information posted by now. Unacceptable.

6 Bus 0554 Today (4/25/17) blew past the stop at 10th and college at approximately 1:40 PM. There were students and other passengers such as myself standing at the side of the road. The bus raced over the hill at 10th street and ran right past us.

Bus 555, on route 3E, almost ran into me at approximately 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, September 1, 2018. I was at the stop sign, leaving the parking lot as referenced above on the map. The bus took the left turn at an angle and did not stop. I put my car in reverse and the bus just missed my car by inches. My entire family was in the car with me. I have not seen bus driving this bad in quite some time. They need to be careful and take it slow. If they cannot make the turn, then let the other person turn so they have a wider angle. I'm not sure why a bus would be in a parking lot anyways--it's a poor place to put a bus stop if there is one. There's too much congestion in that parking lot especially.

Residents at Chandler Glen are concerned about the bus stop at 17th St. In order to reach the bus stop, they must cross a busy road that has poor visibility due to hills on either side. This is particularly difficult for the elderly or people with disabilities. Are there options for improving this bus stop? Thanks for your consideration.

I live at 1101 N College Ave, and I also work from home. Each day for hours at a time, city buses park on College Ave just in front of my building (15th and College, just in front of White Orchid Flowers and across the street from Big Red Liquor) for hours at a time. The out-of-service bus currently parked outside the building (0345), engine running the whole time, has been parked there for nearly two hours. I recognize and value the availability of public transportation. But the buses are loud. With double paned windows, the sound of the bus engine permeates my whole apartment, over and over every day. Please please find another place for the buses to idle, whether out of service or waiting for a route. It affects both my home and work life.

As of 6 pm this evening, there were 4 Lime Scooters illegally parked in the bus shelter near Pete Ellis and Longview. (Photo attached).
I first noticed the scooters there about 8:30 AM this morning.
Lime employees freelance "chargers" who sign up up through their app to charge the scooters overnight at home and then place them in the morning. These scooters were likely placed by a new and under-trained charger.
I reported the issue to Lime through their support system about 9 am and received a form response just a few minutes later that someone was being dispatched to retrieve the scooters. However, Lime did not keep their word and by the end of the work day, the scooters are still there. This evening I see one had had been knocked over--- probably by someone just trying to use the bus shelter as intended.
I recommend impounding these scooters. Lime should know better than to allow their team to place the scooters in bus shelters and should at least keep their word to address issues like this probably when they arise!
I'm on the Bicycle Pedestrian Safety Commission and we will be discussing new scooters as a topic at our meeting next Monday.

I do not live on the bus line, so this is not about me. I know several people who use Bloomington Transit, that is there only transportation, unless they can find a ride. I know people who do not get off work until 11:00, too bad so sad, they cannot take a bus home. I know several single mothers who cannot work on Sundays because the buses do not run on Sundays. They can not even go to the grocery on Sunday, after working all week. One mother in paticular, uses the bus to take her child to day care, then the bus to take her to work and then reverse that when she gets off work. Wouldn't it be nice for her to be able to take her son something special maybe one Sunday a month (I would say that would be all she could afford) or go to the grocery on Sunday. The only way you're going to be able to take a bus on Sunday, is if you are a student, who lives in one of the apartment complexes that provides shuttle service. I wish someone would please discuss the lack of transportation in Bloomington. Thank you so much for your time. Diana Elkins

benches at bus stops
There are a lot of elderly/handicapped individuals who ride the #2 Countryview bus to and from Krogers Seminary square. For some reason the benches on the west side of Krogers were removed. I contacted Bloomington Transit and they said it was the city that removed them. I was told it was because too many "street" people hang out there so this is to discourage that. It does not make sense since the bus stop on the east side of Krogers, closer to the park where those people hang out. The other thing that makes no sense is to inconvenience senior citizens over a situation that would seem to be something that the police patrol should be able to discourage by driving by often, especially those golf cart looking vehicles or bike patrols since it is part of the bline trail. Since the grocery is expanding and updating probably even more people will come there I would like to request that thosebenches be replaced. I can get a petition signed by passengers if it will do any good.
