The minimum effort that Bloomington transit puts in an order to make sure passengers get to, and from their destinations is absolutely ridiculous. When it comes down to the last routes of the night, the bus drivers get in some type of relaxed state where they feel that they do not have to be on time, knowing that majority of the people riding the bus that late are heading home and then the bus driver who are at the transit center do not care to wait longer than three minutes although they’re the last buses of the night and it would not cause no delay to their schedule. Too many people are being left out in the freezing cold Stand. Who knows how long are stranded at night because these bus drivers or the Bloomington transit center does not care about people making at home safely. I have multiple complaints about their driving slow, always being late and the fact that they change the bus schedule to every 40 minutes without any notification without posting it without , adding messages to the app or the website and this is ridiculous. How are we supposed to know when to be outside? Went to be ready when they’re always late and now people are forced to stand in the freezing cold or get left and have to walk home because of their negligence.
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.
bullet holes in bustop shelter glass fractured could break and cause injury. all sides shot up. check coffee shop across st for more errant shots.
Route 6 is detouring down Saratoga again when it is supposed to be going down Morningside. Saratoga has no sidewalks, is very curvy, and people are walking with their children -- please tell the drivers to stop doing this!
AITA? For the 3rd time in 3 years: can I ask that we move the southbound bus stop sign on High at Breenbriar 30 ft to the north, out of the grass next to the drainage culvert, and to a location that allows passengers to exit the rear of the BT bus without the danger of falling into the unrepaired sinkholes next to the culvert? If the bus stops earlier (30 ft north), the passengers that exit the bus to the rear (as required) step off near the sidewalk and not in the middle of a grassy easement with a LARGE SINKHOLE next to the culvert. Why - oh why, is this so hard? When the bus stops at the correct location it doesn't even block Greenbriar traffic onto High. Sorry for the snark, but again Bloomington this is the third request in 3 years. Just move the sign north 30 ft.
The #2 south route is apparently having a detour related to storm damage, running on Coolidge instead of Graham. You need to inform riders of these changes. That's what the app and website are for. Or better yet- post a sign at the affected stops. I understand it is extra work for you but how are riders supposed to know about these things if they are not posted anywhere?
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.
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
