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.
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.

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.
Bus not stopping happened at 8:50 not 7:50. Sorry about incorrect time reported in 1st report.
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.
Shortly before 10 am on 12/7 bus route 3 bus number 1777 lp 51959 ran a red light at 3rd and Woodlawn. They were at full speed and the opposing traffic had already been turning - 2 cars in front of me - when I had to slam on my breaks in the middle of the intersection. It is unclear that the driver was even aware of the error as myself and others laid on our horns... it seemed almost as if they thought that the far right lane didn't have to obey the light. Many people could have been killed both in cars and the pedestrians in the intersection by this carelessness.
The busses on the #2 route need to be cleaned or swapped out for newer models. Many of the seats are stained and you can't tell if it is safe to sit down, not knowing if it is a "fresh" spill or an old stain. And would it be possible to use some different busses? We get the same old busses every day, while other routes get the newer, nicer, cleaner electric models.
