The bus stop at this location was vandalized over a month ago and all the glass panes removed. This is the closest stop to my house, and the temperatures with wind chill have been terrible recently. Please replace the glass panes in this structure promptly; it would be very much appreciated by members of your community and Bloomington Transit Users.
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.
Hello, I am finally writing here because of the immense and frankly overwhelming inadequacies of Bloomington Transit and what seems to be everyone working there above the position of bus driver. I have emailed them 4(!) times without any response. My primary concern is specifically with the 6 bus route, but it is rampant amongst many of the routes. I have consulted with multiple 6 bus drivers, who will remain anonymous, and discovered quite a bit. I didn't know that Bloomington's government had contracted the group that organizes Bloomington transit, and that seems to be the root of where the problem lies. Bloomington Transit has gone with apparently very little oversight for quite the time now, and I believe that time must come to an end. They are abusing their monopoly of student dependency and it is sickening. The 6 bus route has not been adjusted at all to deal with the new City Flats on Walnut which have completely overloaded the bus. This, combined with the 6 very large apartment complexes the 6 bus already directly served, plus the incompetence of whoever is in charge of dispatching the buses, has completely destroyed the route. WHY YOU SHOULD CARE: I know that money is the only way to make any sense to a government, so how would you like a massive lawsuit when one of these now CONSTANTLY overloaded buses crash? Everyday the bus is packed to the gils with people filled in way past the yellow line, which is entirely illegal. Bus drivers have told me that Bloomington Transit knows about this and by their lack of response are wholly complicit and will be liable in the end. That's on you. This is not only incredibly wrong on the grounds of being monopolistic and shrewd business practice, but it is now endangering human lives. This is not even to mention how abusive this is to the drivers, who are the real reason I'm writing you today. It is time to reign this in, before people are seriously hurt and the blood (and money owed) will be on your hands.
There is an issue with the Route 2 West Bloomington Transit Stop C at Crescent Rd and W 17th St. The residents at the Reserve at Chandler Glen have to cross a dangerous intersection to get to the bus stop. Due to the hills on either side, they are not able to see if there is ongoing traffic. Do you have options for resolving this issue?
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.
Shortly before 10 am on 12/7 bus route 3 bus number 1777 lp 51959 ran a red light at 3rd and Woodlawn. They were at full speed and the opposing traffic had already been turning - 2 cars in front of me - when I had to slam on my breaks in the middle of the intersection. It is unclear that the driver was even aware of the error as myself and others laid on our horns... it seemed almost as if they thought that the far right lane didn't have to obey the light. Many people could have been killed both in cars and the pedestrians in the intersection by this carelessness.
bullet holes in bustop shelter glass fractured could break and cause injury. all sides shot up. check coffee shop across st for more errant shots.
The busses on the #2 route need to be cleaned or swapped out for newer models. Many of the seats are stained and you can't tell if it is safe to sit down, not knowing if it is a "fresh" spill or an old stain. And would it be possible to use some different busses? We get the same old busses every day, while other routes get the newer, nicer, cleaner electric models.
Busses keep stopping here and sit for like an hour. It creates a blind turn where someone could get seriously injured or killed. Please tell busses to not park here.
City busses keep parking here and block a blind turn. They sit there for hours not moving an inch. The dude I saw that was parked there was reading a book in the drivers seat. There is a bus stop up the road. why not park there? Parking at my marked location just created an incredibly dangerous situation where only one car can fit past the bus in a blind turn. Ive almost been hit several times because of people rounding the corner too fast and realizing that there is a bus blocking the two way street. I dont know why but the4y sit there for HOURS. there are definitely safer places to park during their breaks. Please fix this issue, I dont want to have an accident there.
