The 2 south route is being detoured and there is no information about it on the website or the app. How are people supposed to know that the bus will not arrive at their stop. The storm was three weeks ago, you should have information posted by now. Unacceptable.

At the bus stop on W 3rd St and S Westplex Ave there are homeless individuals who camp out at the bus stops; they have mattresses, trash, and needles around them. This situation makes it unsafe for other individuals trying to ride the bus as well as causing a disturbance to the neighboring businesses. I've contact the transportation department and filed a uReport but nothing changed.

Bus 761 route 7 had thick black smoke pouring out its exhaust. I think it needs maintenance

Thank you for moving the bus stop north 100 ft out of the old bus egress places to places closer to real reasonable places nearer the sidewalks.

As required in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, a personal care attendant (PCA) does not pay a fare when accompanying a BT Access customer on a paratransit ride. However, Bloomington Transit reportedly requires that the PCA must pay a fare when accompanying a BT Access customer on a fixed-route bus. This fare policy creates unfortunate accessibility and financial burdens for BT Access customers. Bloomington Transit should revise this policy to go beyond the minimum and allow PCAs to ride for free on fixed route buses.
Under Department of Transportation (DOT) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations at 49 C.F.R. Section 37.131(c)(3), a personal care attendant (PCA) may not be charged a fare for complementary paratransit service. PCAs may be charged a fare on fixed route. While some transit systems go beyond the minimum requirements of the ADA and allow PCAs to ride for free, there is no requirement that they do so.

At the end of the very nice protected bike lane on 3rd Street, buses pull over into the unprotected lane to pick up passengers at this stop, forcing bikers either to stop and wait for the bus again, take their chances on going into traffic and around, or jumping up on the sidewalk. Please ask the buses to either stop in the car lane or extend the protected lane through this bus stop.

Bus 11 specifically has always had issues with their atlas on 17th route. This time after pulling to the side giving PLENTY of room for the bus to pass, the driver stopped and demanded I park my car so she can have the entire road to herself. The amount of times I’ve almost been hit by this specific bus the past 2 years because the drivers are genuinely horrible I cannot explain. How do these people have B class licenses? This happened at 4:44PM on October 19th. By law I am NOT required to give 2 entire lanes so that a driver that is supposed to be trained to drive on these roads can have it to themselves. I will reiterate, this has happened SEVERAL times. D

Cars always parked alongside the bus stop where the wheelchair ramp is bus turning off of West 15th can often not see me over SUVs and trucks parked along there I believe the city ordinances no parking but cars continue to park there because there is no sign or curb painted with enough room for the bus to pull over to the right almost missed the bus to work because I am small and cars were blocking as usual and I feel unsafe walking between cars to run out into the road and wave down the bus. A person in a wheelchair can certainly not be seen and would have difficulty Wheeling out into the street to the bus because there is not room for the bus to pull over and lower the lift on to the ramp attaching the road to the sidewalk have called City police for towing multiple times police drive close by look over and then drive away doing nothing

Bus cannot pull over to operate the lift system onto the ramp cars parked there every day usually the same several cars the bus needs to pull over coming from 15th Street to operate the wheelchair lift and when SUVs are parked there and you are small and a chair the bus driver cannot see you trying to wheel out to catch the bus and the bus will pass you by it is also not safe for people to have to run out into the road to stop the bus or with their wheelchair when they shouldn't have to there are usually more cars parked here than this

First Street between Rogers and College is open again. When will the #2 South route start using it?
