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.
The bus stop sign at S Sare Rd at E Buttonwood Lane was hit by a car and is leaning. I pulled it back as much as I could by hand, but i could stand to be replaced. Thanks for your help! Travis Thickstun 2750 E Buttonwood Lane tthickstun@atc.in.gov
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!
We're having a lot of issues with the bus stops being located on our properties and it bringing disturbances to our center. We request that all bus stops get moved off of the private property as soon as possible. Thank you.
City bus is AGAIN zipping through Park ridge east this evening. Is a residential neighborhhood not a place to make up lost time. Around 7 pm
Hello, I am finally writing here because of the immense and frankly overwhelming inadequacies of Bloomington Transit and what seems to be everyone working there above the position of bus driver. I have emailed them 4(!) times without any response. My primary concern is specifically with the 6 bus route, but it is rampant amongst many of the routes. I have consulted with multiple 6 bus drivers, who will remain anonymous, and discovered quite a bit. I didn't know that Bloomington's government had contracted the group that organizes Bloomington transit, and that seems to be the root of where the problem lies. Bloomington Transit has gone with apparently very little oversight for quite the time now, and I believe that time must come to an end. They are abusing their monopoly of student dependency and it is sickening. The 6 bus route has not been adjusted at all to deal with the new City Flats on Walnut which have completely overloaded the bus. This, combined with the 6 very large apartment complexes the 6 bus already directly served, plus the incompetence of whoever is in charge of dispatching the buses, has completely destroyed the route. WHY YOU SHOULD CARE: I know that money is the only way to make any sense to a government, so how would you like a massive lawsuit when one of these now CONSTANTLY overloaded buses crash? Everyday the bus is packed to the gils with people filled in way past the yellow line, which is entirely illegal. Bus drivers have told me that Bloomington Transit knows about this and by their lack of response are wholly complicit and will be liable in the end. That's on you. This is not only incredibly wrong on the grounds of being monopolistic and shrewd business practice, but it is now endangering human lives. This is not even to mention how abusive this is to the drivers, who are the real reason I'm writing you today. It is time to reign this in, before people are seriously hurt and the blood (and money owed) will be on your hands.
City buses have destroyed every street in this town. What is going to be done about this?
There is an issue with the Route 2 West Bloomington Transit Stop C at Crescent Rd and W 17th St. The residents at the Reserve at Chandler Glen have to cross a dangerous intersection to get to the bus stop. Due to the hills on either side, they are not able to see if there is ongoing traffic. Do you have options for resolving this issue?
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
