I would like to make a suggestion for a bus stop at Bryan Park. I know many IU students who park at that location and walk to campus and it would be a convenience for them to be able to ride a bus in bad weather conditions, as well as a safety for them after dark. I appreciate the consideration!
I do not live on the bus line, so this is not about me. I know several people who use Bloomington Transit, that is there only transportation, unless they can find a ride. I know people who do not get off work until 11:00, too bad so sad, they cannot take a bus home. I know several single mothers who cannot work on Sundays because the buses do not run on Sundays. They can not even go to the grocery on Sunday, after working all week. One mother in paticular, uses the bus to take her child to day care, then the bus to take her to work and then reverse that when she gets off work. Wouldn't it be nice for her to be able to take her son something special maybe one Sunday a month (I would say that would be all she could afford) or go to the grocery on Sunday. The only way you're going to be able to take a bus on Sunday, is if you are a student, who lives in one of the apartment complexes that provides shuttle service. I wish someone would please discuss the lack of transportation in Bloomington. Thank you so much for your time. Diana Elkins
benches at bus stops There are a lot of elderly/handicapped individuals who ride the #2 Countryview bus to and from Krogers Seminary square. For some reason the benches on the west side of Krogers were removed. I contacted Bloomington Transit and they said it was the city that removed them. I was told it was because too many "street" people hang out there so this is to discourage that. It does not make sense since the bus stop on the east side of Krogers, closer to the park where those people hang out. The other thing that makes no sense is to inconvenience senior citizens over a situation that would seem to be something that the police patrol should be able to discourage by driving by often, especially those golf cart looking vehicles or bike patrols since it is part of the bline trail. Since the grocery is expanding and updating probably even more people will come there I would like to request that thosebenches be replaced. I can get a petition signed by passengers if it will do any good.
I am surprised, as I rode the bus a few days ago and to see a woman, handicapped in a mechanical chair strapped down only to see her and the chair overturn. To my surprise after helping the woman up and asking if she needed medical assistance, she stated no tand that incidents like that happen often and even if she needed help the bloomington transit never offer to help. You would think that it would be in the best interest of the transit system to take care of individual with special needs, as with many witnesses such neglect of elderly and special need individuals can cost the city millions.
There's a bus stop on Sare road a little east of Olcott that has a huge, horrible stain on the side of it that looks like someone vomited on it and needs cleaned.
i suggest we have trash cans mounted to poles at bus stops, like the stop on college mall rd in front of old national bank and other locations. thers trash always laying at these stops. please consider this. thanks mr hiestand
Only one #7 is running this morning. Lots of people rely in that route's frequency to get to class or work on time.
Please get the 7 drivers on schedule; once again they are willing within a few blocks of each other, following each other around and messing up the schedule.
Missing bus stop - We are missing the bus stop outside our office at Walnut Park, across from the IU Credit Union and near the location of the new Lucky's Market.
Wish to ask/request snow be removed from the 'front' of ALL BT stops, as at most all of te e. 10th st. stops, I noticed the fact there was considerable difficulty in being able to both read the BT6, 8 or ?? schedules as well as... When one is physically disabled or less able to asccess such as a "normal" individual, it best be able to sit-0down instead of stand and wait some 4-0+ minutes for a bus to come by...! --JAABRADY@GMAIL.com
