    Last Friday, Monday, Tuesday, and today so four out of the last six weekdays a 274:did not show up to get me to work. Today one is not going to run until 11:00 am. There is not a bus bench at my stop at *************************** so I stand there stressed. They need to have supervisors step in and drive the bus so people can keep their jobs.

    I bought a******* bus pass for my husband ***** *******. He went to bus stop and bus never came which negatively affects his work. I called bus company to complain and was told they are low on drivers and could not find one so he has to wait another hour for bus. This is unfair. I would like managers to get out there and get their passengers to their destination if needed. I feel that a bus pass is a waste of money if you get to work late because you use it and the bus company doesn't fulfill their bus schedule for a once an hour bus. Once an hour buses should be their priority in operator coverage.

    Case Description:I bought a******* bus pass *** my husband ***** *******. He went to bus stop and bus never came which negatively affects his work. I called bus company to complain and was told they are low on drivers and could not find one so he has to wait another hour for bus. This is unfair. I would like managers to get out there and get their passengers ** their destination if needed. I feel that a bus pass ** a waste of money if you get to work late because you use it and the bus company doesn't fulfill their bus schedule for a once an hour bus. Once an hour buses should be their priority in operator coverage.

    Once an hour buses like the 274 should get priority operator coverage even if supervisor needs to step in and provide it....


    Patiently, awaiting your response.
