3131 N Valleyview DR

The city bus routinely drives through the Fritz Terrace neighborhood too fast. I don’t have a radar gun but the speed limit is 20 and they are obviously going over. On Saturday 5/21 sometime around 3:00 I believe the bus hit and killed a neighbor’s dog near 3131 Valleyview and continued their route. I did not witness the event but was told by a neighbor the bus stopped for a moment at the same location the dog was hit, near the same time, then continued on. I would like the transit department to identify who the driver was and see what the story is on why they did not stop and try to help or identify the owner of the dog, or if I am mistaken and the driver claims it was not them and perhaps maybe they witnessed the event and could provide more details. Even without the issue of who hit the dog, the bus needs to slow down and not exceed the 20 MPH speed limit. There are lots of kids in this neighborhood, the streets are narrow and the curve at the top of the hill is a blind spot for oncoming traffic. Please address this issue before someone gets hurt or killed.

I get that Orange Julius Caesar is cutting DOT budgets because buses are socialism and scary to Macho Men, but can we scrape a few dollars together to buy a couple of cans of Flex Seal (tm) to fix the leaking roofs of the BT buses? The leaking water onto the seats are an embarrassment given what I pay in taxes. We can do better. See pic.

Apparently the diesel - electric buses enter into a "regeneration" cycle under idle to somehow clean out the soot particulates in the diesel exhaust system. Hot exhaust burns out the soot, right? It stinks all to high hel** and fills the cabin with what smells like CO - filled exhaust. I fear being asphixiated while waiting for the warm bus to begin it's route. I open a couple of windows everytime I board. Is this an exhaust leak, or is pumping hot regenerative soot exhaust gases including CO into the cabin, er.. normal? This smells awful and scares me everytime I ride a bus in these conditions. Please provide proof this is not a danger or remedy this nasty smelling problem.

While I'm a supporter of the local bus system, the PA system on the bus can be heard 2 blocks away and inside my home. I'm making a request that the volume on the PA that announces the next stop be turned way down. If it's for riders, it really can't be necessary for it to be at the high volume that it's currently set at. This was evident of the bus that comes at all hours of the day and into the evening. (one just passed by the 300 block of east 7th at 10:28 AM on 9/26/20.) Thank you!

The bus stop sign at the corner of S. Sare Road and E. Buttonwood Lane has been hit by a car and is leaning over. I've pulled it up as much as I can, but it should probably just be replaced or at least fixed straight. Thanks so much for your help! Travis Thickstun 2750 E. Buttonwood Lane Bloomington, Ind. 47401

It’s worth talking to the driver of BT bus #1337 route 9L headed west on 3rd at 3:45pm. Their driving was alarmingly aggressive.

Route 5 reduced hours ending at 7pm causes multiple problems for music students and their fans and all who want to reduce downtown traffic at night. Bad move to reduce hours. More condos and apartments on this route produce more bus traffic recently. Hours should be increased not decreased. G

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.
