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
I just contacted Bloomington Transit, but wanted to report to the city Transportation department as well. I driver I saw a few weeks ago littering his cigarette butt at the downtown BT station, was seen eating while driving today. Below is the email I sent to BT. I hope this driver is properly trained and/or reprimanded. This is unacceptable from anyone, but especially someone representing the city. "Hello, Do you allow your drivers to eat food while they drive? I assume not; this is a major safety risk that a bus driver should not be doing. However, the driver of 4W, today, October 14, leaving downtown at 6:10p was eating chips WHILE he was driving. Not just while stopped at lights, but as the bus was in motion, having at least only one hand on the wheel while transporting 10-15 people during rush hour. I believe this is the same driver I emailed about a few weeks ago who I saw littering his cigarette butts outside on the sidewalk adjacent to Walnut St. What an inconsiderate, selfish, unsafe driver. I hope a wreck doesn't happen because he's endangering people and can't wait to eat until he's at the station."
I live at 1101 N College Ave, and I also work from home. Each day for hours at a time, city buses park on College Ave just in front of my building (15th and College, just in front of White Orchid Flowers and across the street from Big Red Liquor) for hours at a time. The out-of-service bus currently parked outside the building (0345), engine running the whole time, has been parked there for nearly two hours. I recognize and value the availability of public transportation. But the buses are loud. With double paned windows, the sound of the bus engine permeates my whole apartment, over and over every day. Please please find another place for the buses to idle, whether out of service or waiting for a route. It affects both my home and work life.
Is Bloomington Transit going to put a transit bus stop near Summit Elementary and Summit Ridge Addition? The stop would be very much (needed) and appreciated. Thank you.
Bus sign found stashed in bushes on Bline near post 146
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.
There is a bump on the road which is causing the trailers to hit it and making a really loud sound

Bus stop shelter has one broken window, makes air go through which makes the shelter uncomfortable.
On September 27th, 2021 around 8:56 pm Bloomington transit bus 2 west was driving down graham street in-between Rockport and Rodgers by the Broadview learning center park near the west intersection at the rear of the building and park area. The bus side swiped the front and side of the passenger side of my vehicle that was parked out side of the house with the passenger side of the bus near the middle/rear half of the bus while going down graham street I attempted to wave down the bus but it continued going. I made a report with bloomington transit and also called bloomington police department to make a report I was informed the transit dispatch officer I had reported to made was making the report when I called in. My side mirror was pushed inward and also some scratches and chips in my front bumper area and turn signal where the point of contact took place.
