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 would like to suggest increased reckless driving enforcement for stopping to drop off and pick up passengers on 3rd St, and College ave, and anywhere else really. I have seen and been involved several close calls from unexpected non-signaled stops for passengers in non-commercial vehicles not at intersections or waysides.

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.

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.

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
