Accident aside I use the bus for a fairly short route and the timetable is a mere suggestion. The bus is frequently late or never shows up. And I’ve had to run to catch buses that show up early quite a number of times.

I think I’ve encountered two drivers who would actually stop and wait so that they met the timetable rather than arrive early at at subsequent stops. Otherwise it’s a race to get to the end of the line. And the app is for the most part useless unless someone else who got on before you is using it.

There has been a lot of talk in the past about revising routes but no idea what happened with those discussions. And they wonder why more people don’t use public transit.

Yeah I’m mainly seeing a lot of issues with the 102. Rarely is that bus ever on time. Just last week I took it from downtown Hartford and the driver skipped over like 4 stops. I commute from Bristol to Hartford so I heavily rely on it though. It’s frustrating shelling out 30$ for an Uber to make it to work on time everytime there’s a long delay or a bus doesn’t show up. I hope to have a car soon but in the meantime this is what I have to rely on.
