Bike Racks

Uh, George?? What were you thinking? Darline, why didn't you give George enough room (although you can't see it here, there's plenty of room in front of Darline's bus)

10-13 on the Cutback 25

Yesterday after dropping Amy off, I continued on the 25 to Military Circle and rode the Cutback trip to see what demand would look like during an off-peak trip. Wish I didn't. I bumped into my worst nightmare (my ex) who was riding to Koger

Route 25

on the 3:20 inbound trip, the driver refused to be corrected when he told a passenger the 20 comes into the Holiday Inn

Thanks for the van Frank

Trolley Base Frank: Thanks for sending Linda out with the van to pick up Route 25 passengers this morning at 7:45 AM at TCC.

When Drivers do Good

You don't hear this very often, but here goes:

Route 25 leaving TCC at 2:45 PM on Bus 4002: a pat on the back for keeping your cool when you had that rude/indecisive passenger on board today (Monday, September 15th, 2008)

Route 25: A Phantom!?

So, 18th Street, why does Trolley Base have a Phantom? Trolley Base: what's it doing on the 25?

Problems with Route 25

HQ: Why won't you let Trolley Base use the Hybrids on the mainline routes immediately? Because of this lousy decision, there were several people with bikes that were stranded in the rain on Princess Anne Road today.

Route 23's Problems

Word from operators, as well as my observations in the morning at Military Circle, and from reading fellow blogger entries, that there's problems with Route 23. These days, Route 23 is routinely 10-30 by about 5-10 minutes or more due to the extra Cedar Grove leg.

Yes, something needs to be done and something needs to be done pronto. I started messing around with Google Maps and apparently it takes about 10 minutes to get from US-13 & Corporate Blvd to the Military Circle bus shelters. A driver posted to Avenging Archangel (I'm going to honor their request to keep their identity withheld, though yes I think I know who the driver is) suggesting elimination of the Best Square and Front Street legs. They also suggested Route 25 take over the Best Square leg.

I'm not sure the best solution, but I know something needs to be done.

Speaking of Cedar Grove: HRT, we'd (both passengers and operators & staff) would like to be able to take a 10-39 at Cedar Grove. Portos would be really handy. I'm not the only one suggesting this.
