What is the status of the proposed changes for No. 11?
Route 11 and 15 changes will take place in late spring. Information regarding these changes will be follow at a later date.
Since the 3 and 4 routes now take an hour to complete, how will the changes affect the lines that they were formerly paired with (the 1 and 2, respectively)?
Routes 1 and 2 are now paired.
I looked at the bus routes that were proposed and changed...it doesn't make all that much sense to me that 2 bus routes cover the same route, but only backwards...
fill gaps, not overlap them!
i rode the 3 mather bus to fleet farm west today it was weird to ride the 3 mather bus to fleet farm and it was long ride to get used to. but the shawano and mather routes do the oppsite of each other. i hope you add a bus to kellogg st which was redo about 10 years ago for the bus route, i do because i used to live on kellogg st for 21 years
Some of the changes with route 3, 4, and 10 don't make much sense. I realize that economy rules these days. And that one of the biggest gripes was the difficulty of keeping the 4 on time. But the amount of time it takes to go on the new run is just absurd. The amount of blocks with no runs between 4 on Shawano and 3 on Mather/ Desnoyers- almost a mile- is too far too walk for many of the elderly and disabled. What is going to happen when the school runs stop next year and while you can service West high in the morning, the school lets out AFTER both the 3 and 4 run by it on Shawano, so the kids, including my own son, will have to wait 48-55 minutes for either bus to go by- too long for a wisconsin winter day. And please don't tell me most don't ride the bus-alot do, I get on the bus with them! At least if there was a route run up Dousman, it would be behind all the "parent traffic" out front of West at the end of the school day, give passengers another way to get across the bridge to the west side, pick up and drop off students for several schools located in the area, and would make that street area not being serviced between Shawano and Mather/Desnoyers not a big a walk as it is now. Please consider this from someone who has had to deal with it since the changes. I will probably go back to my bike when the temperature picks up, because the changes made to the route make going from one place to another SO much longer, in some case almost twice as long.
