  • Would like to see something like the "On Track" train we had
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:56:12 AM)

  • Not worth the cost of it if you don't expand routes. Will not offset the cost to support proposed amenities unless you plan to soak the tax payers for more money!!

  • There needs to be enough buses so they can depart on time. When 20 or 30 people need to load because they have been queuing for 45 minutes.

  • Its about time that technology gets put into this issue.
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:43:00 AM)

  • Down sized vehicles for suburban routes
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:42:32 AM)

  • Habitual criminals and known gang members should be arrested for loitering or trespassing on sighy by the SPD. I don't care if they are "only" selling weed.
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:42:15 AM)

  • Wifi
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:41:24 AM)

  • Refillable fare transit cards to swipe per ride rather than always using cash/exact change.
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:41:16 AM)

  • Schedules posted at bus stops. Route maps posted at bus stops.
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:40:33 AM)

  • Market to suburban riders. Consider fleet of smaller buses. Amenities: wifi, music, NPR
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:40:09 AM)

  • better bus shelters! Pull offs More wayfinding/signange for bus routes
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:39:31 AM)

  • Grid-connected buses, streetcars (less noise, no fumes, less GHG)
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:38:53 AM)

  • Wifi definitely. Bus shelters that actually shelter you from the weather.
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:38:18 AM)

  • Real-time info on when buses will arrive on bus shelters. Phone apps too
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:37:55 AM)

  • How about triple-decker buses?
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:36:39 AM)

  • Easy to use & understand route maps and schedules
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:35:48 AM)

  • Wifi would be good. Most important - short wait times.
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:35:25 AM)

  • Centro need to prioritize user-friendliness! Web/mobile tracking of buses, fewer stops to improve timeliness are a couple. Reduced fares on weekends also!
    (Posted on:5/30/2012 9:34:55 AM)

  • All of these amenities are good ideas. Also would like to see easier-to-use and/or more bike racks on busses. What about a bus (or two) that only carried cyclists, i.e., an east-west route or a north-south route (or both)? Would require an entirely new bus design, but could be used year-round.

  • I might be more likely to use Centro if I knew which routes served the neighborhood, where the routes go, and how often they arrive. Presently, this information is only available online or at the "major" stops. In bigger cities like NYC, each bus stop sign indicates the route(s) served at that stop, and in many cases, the destination(s) of those routes. Some bus stop signs have a "cube" lower on the pole, at eye level, which include a full schedule and even a map of the route. These would be handy so riders don't have to obtain their own copies -- or for casual riders who don't ride often enough to "know" the schedule or the system that well.

  • Real time transit info at the bus corner. Waiting and waiting for a late bus is frustrating. Would it be quicker to walk? Should I call home for a ride? If we had an idea when the late bus would arrive it would really help with those decisions. Also. The tip of the spear, the face of Centro the person in the Kiosk. It is important that this person represents Centro in a positive light. This person should be friendly, professional and cooperative. Typically, this is not the case. You should have management travel incognito and se for yourself. Hire a secret shopper or something.

  • Free smartphone apps that allow users to identify the locations of buses traveling various routes.
    (Posted on:5/9/2012 4:18:20 PM)

  • I think involving the arts groups in Syracuse to provide live entertainment on the buses wouls draw riders.
