Arrived at bus stop on Allendale at appointed time. Bus should be there by 2:34 pm. Waited until 2:40 and then searched `Spot'. According to Spot, the bus was at the maintenance facility. Then I checked website. Website was down. Then I called BT and asked for representative. The call was dropped without being answered. Will be contacting my city council rep about this one...

City busses keep parking here and block a blind turn. They sit there for hours not moving an inch. The dude I saw that was parked there was reading a book in the drivers seat. There is a bus stop up the road. why not park there? Parking at my marked location just created an incredibly dangerous situation where only one car can fit past the bus in a blind turn. Ive almost been hit several times because of people rounding the corner too fast and realizing that there is a bus blocking the two way street. I dont know why but the4y sit there for HOURS. there are definitely safer places to park during their breaks. Please fix this issue, I dont want to have an accident there.

One of your buses has the external announcement volume level set WAY TOO LOUD. Unfortunately, I didn't get the bus number, but it was the #6 bus traveling westbound on E. 10th St. approaching Jordan Ave. at approx. 12:20 PM today. I was walking on the sidewalk, and the announcement blared out at an ear-shattering level. I'm used to hearing the bus announcements walking on streets downtown and around campus, but this was something entirely different as far as volume. My right ear is still in pain as a result. Please check the volume setting.

Residents at Chandler Glen are concerned about the bus stop at 17th St. In order to reach the bus stop, they must cross a busy road that has poor visibility due to hills on either side. This is particularly difficult for the elderly or people with disabilities. Are there options for improving this bus stop? Thanks for your consideration.

Part 2 of my complaint (I thought I'd have more room to give details.) (1) Bloomington Transit bus driver Randy turned the corner into the Transit Center so fast I fell from the side seat to the floor and my bags fell from the seat too. I landed on my feet. Randy didn't say anything. When I was exiting, I said, "I fell - I could have gotten hurt!" and HE SAID NOTHING. Not an apology - NOTHING. He obviously didn't care. This happened months ago and was reported to Eli McCormick, Customer Service Manager, when it happened. (2) Since then Randy has made ridiculous complaints to me when I get on the bus - all these have been reported to Eli M and I've asked him to preserve the videos from those incidents. (3) Randy is getting more and more dangerous, and now swerves right at me in front of the main library on Kirkwood when he sees me there. He drives too fast and heads RIGHT AT ME! No other driver in town is doing this, nor has done this, in the 3 1/2 years I've lived here. I've seen him stop in the street and not even swerve right into the stopping lane when he doesn't see me and other passengers are waiting there. On January 31st, he drove at me fast and Eli said, "We've reviewed that video... you were on the curb, and we don't feel that's a problem." Eli said another manager analyzed him before that, and said he was going 18 miles an hour on approach. Other drivers have told me 10-15 mph is reasonable. On February 5 he aimed right for me and when I didn't move he wailed on the horn. When I got on, he said, "You're not supposed to stand in the street!" I said, "I wasn't in the street - I was in the parking lane - and YOU'RE not supposed to aim for people who are STANDING STILL!" I've told Eli to preserve this video and I have to request it at the City Legal Department. I filed Police Report #B1905058 with Officer Crider, Badge #1369 that night. Randy is dangerous, vindictive, childish, and a LIABILITY for Bloomington Transit and this city! I don't see why Eli M and that company don't understand that.
