Does Bloomington Transit empty trash every day at the stops? This can has been full for days, now it’s being piled into a Dollar General cart

The new bus stop on Henderson St by Brandon Ct is full of trash.
Whatever is in the trash in the bus stop smells like a decomposing animal and is attracting a LOT of flys.
There is a pole/light at this stop that has metal bands wrapped in two spots for a trash can to be attached. Although the trash can is not attached and sits beside the pole, that is not the problem. Today, one of the metal bands (which sticks out at the end of its seal point) sliced my leg open. Luckily I had a first aid kit, but that is dangerous.
Does this city code also apply to bus drivers? It's posted prominently all over the downtown Transit Center, and yet mutiple bus drivers enjoy their tobacco at the entrance to the parked buses while riders waiting to board are downwind of their smoke, unable to board. Does this mean anything, or does it only apply to riders?
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.
Hello there van blocking bus lane so other buses can’t get though
Bus 2493 at approximately 19.20 cut me off and refused to yield right away. The driver was pulling away from the curb and I was on a fully illuminated bicycle. Please forward to BPD for warning and counseling.
Not sure what the possible glitch with lyft is, but if the city is picking up the tab for rideshare rides after the first dollar then the city is being fleeced BIG TIME. I am giving $45 rides that go 4 blocks at times and the riders are laughing that they paid a dollar. Just an FYI no need to contact me just dbl check the program parameters before it's bankrupt
The bus station closes at 4:00 pm Monday thru Friday. It is also closed on Saturdays. Passengers, including children, elderly & disabled people have to stand outside in freezing weather while waiting for their bus. I take two buses to get to work & three buses to get home. I also depend on the Bloomington Transit for trips to Kroger. Having to stand outside during this winter has been miserable. If the Bloomington Transit can afford to buy new all-electric buses, they should be able to hire some people to work evenings & on Saturday to keep the station open.
