At approximately 7:50am 3/6/203 a B-ton transit bus driver, traveling SB through High St and Arden Dr intersection, failed to come to a complete stop. There were cars, pedestrians, cyclists in and around the intersection. Mostly, it's the elementary school kids on their way to school that are at greatest risk from poor driving habits.
Can we PLEASE move the bus stop signage / stop location at least 30 ft north of its current location to prevent people from falling into a drainage sinkhole this is located next to the existing drain. We reported this sinkhole THREE years ago, but nothing has been done, and now it's a hazard to passengers getting off of the #5 bus. Do I have to wait until Mayor Thomson to finally get this fixed? Hamilton has ignored this for THREE F'N YEARS. Sad.
Bus stop hazard: Can we please move the location of the #5 bus stop sign 30ft north. When the bus stops adjacent to the sign here passengers have to exit the bus right next to large (and growing bigger) sinkhole next to the storm drain. The sinkhole was reported years ago, but it persists. At least let me get off the bus without risking falling into a sinkhole before I have to walk through all that wet grass in the easement. Please?
AITA? For the 3rd time in 3 years: can I ask that we move the southbound bus stop sign on High at Breenbriar 30 ft to the north, out of the grass next to the drainage culvert, and to a location that allows passengers to exit the rear of the BT bus without the danger of falling into the unrepaired sinkholes next to the culvert? If the bus stops earlier (30 ft north), the passengers that exit the bus to the rear (as required) step off near the sidewalk and not in the middle of a grassy easement with a LARGE SINKHOLE next to the culvert. Why - oh why, is this so hard? When the bus stops at the correct location it doesn't even block Greenbriar traffic onto High. Sorry for the snark, but again Bloomington this is the third request in 3 years. Just move the sign north 30 ft.
Bus stop hazard
I'm disappointed to find out that the 11 bus is an express route that stops only at the Atlas apartments and on the IU campus. The bus drives right by several stops for the 2 bus on West 17th, and these could be convenient stops for students and university workers that live in the homes and apartment complexes in that area/near Maple Heights. While it wouldn't entirely solve the issue that this area is dangerous for pedestrians (currently few pedestrian crossings near Kinser Pike, W 17th, and N Madison; parts of W 15th with no sidewalks etc.), adding a few 11 route stops nearby could decrease walk times and distance in these areas for those currently walking to bus stops for the 6 route. Please consider adding a couple of stops on the 11 route to serve W 17th street!
Homeless problem at the bus stop causing other individuals to feel unsafe
We're having a lot of issues with the bus stops being located on our properties and it bringing disturbances to our center. We request that all bus stops get moved off of the private property as soon as possible. Thank you.
On September 27th, 2021 around 8:56 pm Bloomington transit bus 2 west was driving down graham street in-between Rockport and Rodgers by the Broadview learning center park near the west intersection at the rear of the building and park area. The bus side swiped the front and side of the passenger side of my vehicle that was parked out side of the house with the passenger side of the bus near the middle/rear half of the bus while going down graham street I attempted to wave down the bus but it continued going. I made a report with bloomington transit and also called bloomington police department to make a report I was informed the transit dispatch officer I had reported to made was making the report when I called in. My side mirror was pushed inward and also some scratches and chips in my front bumper area and turn signal where the point of contact took place.
Bloomington Transit Late Night bus service FAIL: At 10 pm on Dec 7, t did not work on either the Uber or Lyft app. Uber link from the BT website said “NO VOUCHERS LEFT.” Lyft app did not accept the BTLATENITE voucher code. When I called the BT dispatcher, he did not offer to help but rather have me a number to call Uber.
