<br /> OPT Short Range Transit Plan <br /> <br />Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. | A-6 <br /> <br /> <br />Do you have any additional comments about bus service? <br />Need safe bus stops on Fordham Blvd and protected crosswalks (i.e. stop lights activated by pedestrians, not a nice <br />note encouraging car to stop if they feel like it). <br />I've ridden the bus to work at UNC from Carrboro since 1996. I like riding the bus but I wish there were more CW or <br />CPX buses in the middle of the day and Sunday bus service into town (downtown Carrboro and downtown Chapel <br />Hill) during the morning and afternoon so I could go to church more easily and stay to have lunch and/or shop or go <br />to a movie at the Varsity. North Carrboro is growing and we need more service times and routes generally. <br />More information about services are needed for the public. We don't have have information or knowledge about the <br />existing services in the area. More trips to areas of need are needed, particularly Northern Orange County. <br />Please consider more direct routes. <br />no <br />N/A <br />The bus service is excellent! Bus drivers are professional and friendly, and it mostly fits my needs. The down side <br />is that if I have to work late, I get stuck at work because the route only runs an hours. Also need more cross walks <br />to make it safer to cross MLK to reach the bus stop. It's very dangerous at the north part of town. <br />We really need better Weekend and holiday service! <br />It is disheartening to see so may FCX buses pass me by as I am waiting for the S bus. I know part and ride <br />participants are now having to pay a few and parking is no longer free for them but I pay taxes in Chapel Hill which <br />helps support Chapel Hill transit. I feel like the commuters from outside of Chapel Hill are treated better than the <br />people that live in Chapel Hill. <br />If there was a bus stop near us we'd definitely use it! <br />On Question 7: Much of my driving is to places not served or I have multiple stops to make in multiple locations / <br />times. <br />Please help to provide service later in the evening for nurses and others that work shift to be able to ride the bus. <br />Missing the 7:45pm bus and having to wait an hour for the next bus does not work. <br />Please install the BRT and feeder routes as soon as possible <br />I love the bus(es) that I ride. The only issue is if then is rain/hot/cold the bus will run late. We have had to stand in <br />the pouring rain, thunder and lightening for over 30 minutes when the bus is late with no explanation as to why. I <br />know that traffic can be delay it for a few but some days, we can be out there long enough for the next 2 buses to <br />run but they are late as well or the 5:15 never shows. Also, another shelter at the Manning drive stop would be <br />wonderful and maybe help in those times of bad weather for us to not be soaking wet. <br />Would enjoy extended daytime hours of the B route as well as later hours for the RU and U routes <br />Very frustrating when transponder isn't working. Have been standing at bus stop when bus arrives and board <br />shows 5 minutes to bus and bus left early or other times when bus wasn't tracking on the board <br />Would still have to drive to bus stop by house; nothing close enough to walk and no sidewalks of I wanted to walk. <br />Work in Durham <br />Smoking should not be allowed at bus stops. <br />love the bus, but it only runs once an hour during the times I ride. It causes anxiety and am always rushing to make <br />sure I don't miss it. <br />no
