Almost lost employment due to lateness. Always be on time! Put up a website so customer can know the buses location Always breaking down/ Never on time At least once or twice a week buses are a no show Be on time!!! Be on time. Because of unreliable buses, am late for work, and sometimes have to take a cab. Being on time, faster routes Bus is always late and never on time. Bus is always late. Bus often late, leave 1 hour early to ensure will arrive at work on time (a 15 minute commute). Bus schedule is unpredictable, especially weekends. Need more connecting trips and new buses. Bus should be on time Buses are frequently late and sometimes either really early or not at all. Buses are frequently late. Buses are late a lot with no notification. Buses are old and need repair. 2-3 times a week buses do not show up. Buses aren't reliable. Takes too long to get where I need to go, doesn't go where I need to go, and Sunday service is very poor. Buses break down a lot and are not reliable. Buses break down too much, need new buses and the drivers need to be on time. Buses running on schedule is the key in this kind of business. Buses should be on time every day. If a bus has a problem, they should provide another extra bus, and the extra bus should arrive 15 minutes later. Buses should be serviced and not break down everyday Buses should run on time they are always running late. Coming from a major metropolitan area, this service sucks. Especially when the buses break down...I've literally lost a job because of it. First bus on Saturday and Sunday do not start on time. Buses do not ride smoothly -- break down and an hour or more wait – occasionally. Central Maryland C-1 Transit Development Plan Appendix C Reliability 165 Comments Fix it. Don't change the times for Silver and not tell anyone. Fix the yellow bus that comes at 6 am at the Mall. Fix your drivers laziness and politeness. Fix your lateness/earliness. Update bus schedules. He was late one time. I catch the bus Mon-Sun. I have to leave out 2 hours prior to the time I have to be at my destination. The buses are either late or have technical issues. Get new buses, every route should run every 15-30 minutes. I enjoy the driver on the 203M in the morning, but can't rely on the services in the evening. I feel that the bus needs to be on time and also come when they are supposed to. We are working and have to be on time. I have caught the yellow bus for two years and it was the worst. It was never on time and the drivers were very nasty. The orange is now what I catch and it should have a better schedule to service people on the weekends. TERRIBLE SERVICE. I have experienced RTA buses leaving and coming before their designated times. If I look on my RTA bus schedule and the time it arrives says 12:34 pm, I shouldn't see my bus coming at 12:22 pm and then leave. I do not think that is fair. I honestly hate it. Some drivers are nice, but the buses break down too often, are late, and not consistent. I am force to drive because you can't depend on public transit. I just need bus ride just need to get here on time and care about customers that have somewhere to go and don't want to be late. I only have concerns with the outdated buses, because when they break down it causes delays.

  • Written Testimony 12.216-4.20-17
    Sayers, Margery From: Tina Bennett <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2017 11:36 PM To: CounciIMail Subject: Public input on the proposed budget Greetings. If it is timely, I would like to express strong support for expenditure on bus stop improvement. I live near bus stops on Guilford Road and pass some on Broken Land Parkway. I see folks standing on grass or trying to keep feet dry by standing on a cement square (about 1 yard x 1 yard) if one is available. There is no shelter for many stops. At one on Guilford, folks will often sit on a pad-mount transformer because there is no other place to sit. There are no trash cans, so you can guess what is discarded on the ground. People look (and are) miserable at these stops, and such conditions do not encourage them to ride the buses. Howard County must meet basic needs (including safety) of riders to support bus ridership and support these people, many of whom might not be able to afford their own cars Thank you for your consideration. Respectfully, Tina Bennett and family _^ »S^»y ^ ^ Uniting East and West with a Bus, Bike, And BRIDGE ^ COLUMBIA Pedestrian Bridge ONE BRIDGE ONE COLUMBIA www.bridgecolumbia.org [email protected] April 13,2017 Dear Howard County Council Member, Friends of Bridge Columbia wholeheartedly supports the inclusion of funding for upgrades to the Route 29 pedestrian bridge (Budget Item B3863 FY2013 Downtown Columbia-Oakland Mills Connection Improvements). We appreciate the creativity of the county employees and contractors in generating the geodesic tube with spiral design and encourage you to support this project with the funding required to make it happen.
