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.
Bus 761 route 7 had thick black smoke pouring out its exhaust. I think it needs maintenance
Had a city bus pull out in front of me thursday evening. Half the time they don't stop at the stop sign on Hagan.
Bus driver going so fast on 3rd he couldn't / wouldn't stop at the stop we pulled chain for. Then, rather than stopping around the corner, he said he we drop us off at the next stop, blaming for nut giving him enough notice, which is incorrect because we get off and pull the chain for that stop at least once a day and other drivers stop just fine. This guy was just driving way too fast and was trying to make up time since we left downtown more than 5 minutes late So besides being dangerous, the guy is rude and definitely needs some customer service training.
Resident reports bus stop at 3rd and Patterson contains empty whiskey bottles, trash and human waste. Reported calling Transit yesterday and being sent to voicemail with no response.
The event will be detailed as offered to dispatch and responding officers in accordance with IC 35-45-1-3 and 35-45-2-1. I now know the specifics to the means of the initial report. It was also annoying of the patrons from the bus. The report to Monroe County dispatch happened around 1040p on 20150422. The incident occurred at 1027p on 20150422.
Hello, I was biking north on S Walnut St. in the bike lane around 3:30pm on Friday afternoon. A BT bus passed me and then immediately pulled over in the bike lane to stop near Smith Ave. This alone is unacceptable, as the driver could have simply waited a few seconds to pull over instead of cutting me off. I was able to bike around the bus, but again, as we were approaching the 3rd St. intersection and the bike lane was disappearing, the bus passed me again. At the intersection, the bus was going to turn right onto 3rd, so I waited for the bus to turn, but then he waited for me to continue straight. I passed the bus on the right side and the driver (older white man) was clearly annoyed at me. I support transit, but this interaction was uncomfortable and not how busses should interact with cyclists, especially on a busy corridor.
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.
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
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
