It was worth it because they gave us a pencil and a hard piece of paper to make it more convenient. When one person got off the bus and slipped it into the plastic holder near the driver all seemed to 'catch on' as to how to hand it in.<br />That was a GREAT survey, very precise and anonymous! I think CT really wants us to know they care about how they can do better.<br /> We should go to the public meetings with more than a complaint, you know?<br />Funding should start with people who defy carbon footprints....lol ! We need tolls on Route 5 for the THOUSANDS of cars with one person in it ! What is going on? <br />I ride the early double tall #415 or #880. I see all these people we soar past --- they are stalled in traffic, angry, frustrated and the whole time their gas is burning away.....<br />They are the ones eating up the roads. No tolls?? Huh??<br /> $1.00 down and $1.00 back for starters. <br />In the course of a week, what would that do to fund public transit?<br /><br />I've never been in a large city as nice Seattle or NYC where there is FREE driving on a great road like route 5, ever!<br />No one ever complains about tolls, EVER ! Therefore, they have great maintenance, salting in winter and repairs everyone benefits from. <br />If they ever ride a bus every day, it saves at least $300.00 per month!<br />I put it in my vacation fund. <br />I relax and read without worrying about dings, parking, or running out of gas. If there's an accident on the only decent road into Seattle, you can easily be late and/or run out of gas ! I arrive stress free and my health has greatly improved by walking only about 3 blocks a day. This was in 1 year.<br />The drivers are the best when it comes to driving, even local drivers enjoy their jobs and almost every one will advise you kindly how to get where you need to go if you did not consult the Bus Plus Book or did not look at the web site yet. <br />Don't wait until your car is in the shop to get your feet wet. Start with an Orca card getting all free transfers within 2 hours of your first swipe. Enjoy the ride....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108693913523162730.post-73857783716697199002013-11-12T10:14:23.590-08:002013-11-12T10:14:23.590-08:00Not every trip was included in the onboard survey,...Not every trip was included in the onboard survey, and some routes did not have surveyors onboard, only surveys. If you didn't have a chance to take the survey but would like to, the survey is available online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/onboardCT.

No one offered me a survey or told me about them. I am disappointed in Community Transit for not making the topic better known to the riders, as well as disappointed in the follow through in regards to emails sent in with questions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5108693913523162730.post-27375425576744637552013-10-16T10:35:33.705-07:002013-10-16T10:35:33.705-07:00Funny!
