Improve CARTA

Everyone talks about how important alternative transportation ought to be. Have you ridden a bus lately?
Here are my suggestions:
1. Improve signage at every stop. Announce that location to drivers and riders. The first stop at the Citadel shopping center approach is a motel sign. Who would know?
2. Post a stop schedule for that stop or a nearby stop at every stop. It can be a stick-on, easily changed.
3. Provide contact information for CARTA at every stop. If you are standing there and wondering why the bus is 15 minutes late, what can you do?
4. Update the scheduled stop times. I have arrived 10 minutes early at Citadel shopping center after leaving 5 minutes late from Meeting and Wentworth.
5. Size down the buses. They’re too big, empty and expensive to repair.
6. Examine routing. Add and subtract according to user needs. Tally ridership closely.
7. Ask the customers! Campaign in media to learn more and attract more customers.
8. Require dispatchers to meet schedules, or find out why they can’t.
9. Add express buses for commuters from Goose Creek/Summerville/West Ashley.
10. Get on board!
