At approximately 7:50am 3/6/203 a B-ton transit bus driver, traveling SB through High St and Arden Dr intersection, failed to come to a complete stop. There were cars, pedestrians, cyclists in and around the intersection. Mostly, it's the elementary school kids on their way to school that are at greatest risk from poor driving habits.
Bloomington Transit Late Night bus service FAIL: At 10 pm on Dec 7, t did not work on either the Uber or Lyft app. Uber link from the BT website said “NO VOUCHERS LEFT.” Lyft app did not accept the BTLATENITE voucher code. When I called the BT dispatcher, he did not offer to help but rather have me a number to call Uber.

An unknown individual has slept in the bus stop shelter for the past week. The area surrounding the shelter has litter scattered about consistently. I do not know if the litter is from this individual. It's a health hazard.
There is a City bus stop shelter just north of Thorton Drive on Henderson (across the street from Black Lumber). The last few evenings, it looks like someone is staying in there overnight. Is this allowed?
I often see trash in or near the bus stop at the Mall (close to one of the former Macy's entrances): plastic coat hangers, beverage containers, empty plastic bags, etc. Can you place a trash can there, like you so magnificently did at the bus stop in front of The Brew House? Thanks!
No public transit to where I work. One of the three top employers in Bloomington, and no public transit available.
I'm disappointed to find out that the 11 bus is an express route that stops only at the Atlas apartments and on the IU campus. The bus drives right by several stops for the 2 bus on West 17th, and these could be convenient stops for students and university workers that live in the homes and apartment complexes in that area/near Maple Heights. While it wouldn't entirely solve the issue that this area is dangerous for pedestrians (currently few pedestrian crossings near Kinser Pike, W 17th, and N Madison; parts of W 15th with no sidewalks etc.), adding a few 11 route stops nearby could decrease walk times and distance in these areas for those currently walking to bus stops for the 6 route. Please consider adding a couple of stops on the 11 route to serve W 17th street!
Can the city bus please go slower down Morningside. Was biking and zipped past way too quickly. Let tell staff. Thank you. It's a neighborhood and bikeway
The city bus routinely drives through the Fritz Terrace neighborhood too fast. I don’t have a radar gun but the speed limit is 20 and they are obviously going over. On Saturday 5/21 sometime around 3:00 I believe the bus hit and killed a neighbor’s dog near 3131 Valleyview and continued their route. I did not witness the event but was told by a neighbor the bus stopped for a moment at the same location the dog was hit, near the same time, then continued on. I would like the transit department to identify who the driver was and see what the story is on why they did not stop and try to help or identify the owner of the dog, or if I am mistaken and the driver claims it was not them and perhaps maybe they witnessed the event and could provide more details. Even without the issue of who hit the dog, the bus needs to slow down and not exceed the 20 MPH speed limit. There are lots of kids in this neighborhood, the streets are narrow and the curve at the top of the hill is a blind spot for oncoming traffic. Please address this issue before someone gets hurt or killed.
