Homeless problem at the bus stop causing other individuals to feel unsafe
Homeless problem at the bus stop causing other individuals to feel unsafe
Route 6 is detouring down Saratoga again when it is supposed to be going down Morningside. Saratoga has no sidewalks, is very curvy, and people are walking with their children -- please tell the drivers to stop doing this!
AITA? For the 3rd time in 3 years: can I ask that we move the southbound bus stop sign on High at Breenbriar 30 ft to the north, out of the grass next to the drainage culvert, and to a location that allows passengers to exit the rear of the BT bus without the danger of falling into the unrepaired sinkholes next to the culvert? If the bus stops earlier (30 ft north), the passengers that exit the bus to the rear (as required) step off near the sidewalk and not in the middle of a grassy easement with a LARGE SINKHOLE next to the culvert. Why - oh why, is this so hard? When the bus stops at the correct location it doesn't even block Greenbriar traffic onto High. Sorry for the snark, but again Bloomington this is the third request in 3 years. Just move the sign north 30 ft.
This light has been out for several weeks and makes it unsafe to walk in this area when it is dark outside. Light is located near the bus lane closest to the Transit Center.

Please help. Someone said they are getting rid of the 6 stop at Smith and Morningside. That was not explained anywhere! We knew they were getting rid of the stop of the other line further into Morningside but NEVER the one on Smith. That not only helps slow the extreme danger of folks flying through the four way stop there but is used tons by faculty and students and staff of PRE and elsewhere to get to campus and downtown. This is a major problem and was NOT communicated well if true.
Would it be possible to place one or more trash cans at the bus stop that is closest and on the side of the Brew House on College Mall Rd? The bus stop area is littered with trash. Compare this to the nice trash cans that are available at both bus stops closest to Kroger (Jackson Creek one) on Covenanter.
I took the #3 east bus on Friday, 12/10, to the mall. Passengers were smoking as they waited for a bus. Staff walked by them and did nothing. On the bus, there was only one audio message; it said we were passing Wonderlab but we were going east on Third, not near Wonderlab. The written direction notice also had west side bus stops even though we were going east. On my way back to town on the 1:40 bus, the written messages were right but there were no audio announcements. I believe this violates the ADA. Thank you

The Bloomington Police Department investigates after a city transit but struck and killed a woman near the bus station at the corner of Third Street, and Walnut, Thursday, September 26, 2019 in Bloomington, Ind. Police are not yet releasing the name of the women pending notification of next of kin. BPD Police Lt. John Kovach said, "At this time preliminarily it appears that the city transit bus was pulling out of the station when the victim was struck. She is a deceased. It is a female. I do not have any other information, age, or name or anything that we're going to release at this time, obviously due to next of kin notification. So at this point, the investigation is ongoing with our accident reconstructionists. I do not know when any information will be released for the accident. Obviously, we want to make sure that we do a good thorough investigation." (Photo by Jeremy Hogan/The Bloomingtonian)
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!
