Title: All WRTA Bus Stops Should Have One or More
Post by: jay on July 02, 2023, 08:35:49 PM
What is lacking at most WRTA corner bus stops?

The answer is seating.

All too often, some bus riders are not able to stand in one spot for several minutes.  I've witnessed a rider in Cornersburg "borrow" a yellow Dollar General shopping cart, turn it on its side and the use it as a seat.

Just last week, I observed a man sitting on the sidewalk/curb while waiting for a bus along Mahoning Avenue.

Perhaps the WRTA should provide some type of inexpensive seating at bus stops.
or
The WRTA should approach nearby property owners and ask them to provide a seat or two at bus stops.
