There has been liquid sloshing around a window sill for TWO straight days on the #2 bus. Are you cleaning these buses?

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 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.
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
Hello there van blocking bus lane so other buses can’t get though
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.
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?
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.
