At the bus stop on W 3rd St and S Westplex Ave there are homeless individuals who camp out at the bus stops; they have mattresses, trash, and needles around them. This situation makes it unsafe for other individuals trying to ride the bus as well as causing a disturbance to the neighboring businesses. I've contact the transportation department and filed a uReport but nothing changed.
Cars always parked alongside the bus stop where the wheelchair ramp is bus turning off of West 15th can often not see me over SUVs and trucks parked along there I believe the city ordinances no parking but cars continue to park there because there is no sign or curb painted with enough room for the bus to pull over to the right almost missed the bus to work because I am small and cars were blocking as usual and I feel unsafe walking between cars to run out into the road and wave down the bus. A person in a wheelchair can certainly not be seen and would have difficulty Wheeling out into the street to the bus because there is not room for the bus to pull over and lower the lift on to the ramp attaching the road to the sidewalk have called City police for towing multiple times police drive close by look over and then drive away doing nothing
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.
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.
Hello there van blocking bus lane so other buses can’t get though
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?
The 2 south route is being detoured and there is no information about it on the website or the app. How are people supposed to know that the bus will not arrive at their stop. The storm was three weeks ago, you should have information posted by now. Unacceptable.
First Street, between College and Rogers, is completely open and has been for weeks. Why is the #2 route (southbound) not using it? The detour is no longer needed.
First Street between Rogers and College is open again. When will the #2 South route start using it?
The minimum effort that Bloomington transit puts in an order to make sure passengers get to, and from their destinations is absolutely ridiculous. When it comes down to the last routes of the night, the bus drivers get in some type of relaxed state where they feel that they do not have to be on time, knowing that majority of the people riding the bus that late are heading home and then the bus driver who are at the transit center do not care to wait longer than three minutes although they’re the last buses of the night and it would not cause no delay to their schedule. Too many people are being left out in the freezing cold Stand. Who knows how long are stranded at night because these bus drivers or the Bloomington transit center does not care about people making at home safely. I have multiple complaints about their driving slow, always being late and the fact that they change the bus schedule to every 40 minutes without any notification without posting it without , adding messages to the app or the website and this is ridiculous. How are we supposed to know when to be outside? Went to be ready when they’re always late and now people are forced to stand in the freezing cold or get left and have to walk home because of their negligence.
