A good concept that could be made better. I'm thinking something akin to Winnipeg's DART system. Buses would leave transit centres on a schedule but take people where they want to go on request. People going *to* the transit centre could request a ride with very short notice to the driver, who would have a cell phone for the purpose of taking requests. This is also needed at night and on weekends to cover suburbs that have regular buses at some times but not others, for example for someone who wants to attend church in Cottage Grove where there is no weekend service now.
Hello everyone and welcome to my Transit Blog. I have been a bus driver since 2000. I worked for Waukesha Metro Transit in Waukesha, Wisconsin from 2000 to 2008. I moved to the Twin Cities with my family in March of 2008. I now work for Metro Transit in Twin Cities. I first started taking pictures and video in the fall of 2007.
I will post my transit related photos and video here. I will also post transit related news. Please leave a comment to let me know what you think.
