More/Better Bike Racks
More/Better bike racks; Too many bikes don't fit on the Cambria
bus
Fewer drunk teens
"Thank you for being there!"
Cheaper
Lower Fares
Student discount for RTA
If the 12X in the AM would reach the Transit Center on time
Some drivers seem to take their sweet time, making connections
harder.
Buy 31-day passes from drivers
Change back to 1/7/2012 route 12 MB/Los Osos, also the 15
North."
Route 12 stop at Cal Poly Campus
Service from Morro Bay to Atascadero by 8:30 on weekends maybe Hwy 41
Sevice to Santa Barbara
"I look forward to seat belts."
The driver should not start driving until all passengers have sat
down.
"Coordinate and use consistant departure times on the hour."
"Cuesta arrival times before :30"
"SLO #3 almost always leaves later and SLO #1 pulls up listed as
SLO #3 and often stays that way until departure, so there's two SLO
#3."
"Understand planes vary, but coordinate with train schedule."
Arrive at Cuesta from Los Osos closer to class times
Coordinate better with Cuesta class schedule
Express 10 mins earlier like it used to be
Fix Saturday service, the 6:00 bus does complete route
For Cuesta Students, waiting for the bus can change a 1/2
communte to over 2 hours due to the waiting involved (Varies
based on class schedule)
Keep Pinee & LOVR stop during construction

Cuesta College Intercept Survey Responses
Improvements passengers would like to see:
3 was old bus; 6B was really nice. More bike storage on buses would be great.
All is well
Better schedules online & times for every stop.
Buses more often
Extended bus hours in the evening and on weekends
Extended hours on weekend
Free food, jk. Amazing. 24 hr service if possible.
I am quite satisfied.
I miss the stop at Cal Poly to and from Cuesta (direct)
I want a service in Callbero any ways cuz I walk in Pine almost 40 min.
I would love for an online driver schedule list so that I don't have to see my ex-boyfriend
I'd love increased service between SLO and Cuesta
It works really well for me.
Little too expensive
More buses and more pick up times. If it became more efficinet with time and more routes, people would drive
less. People I know would love to ride the bus but need a better system in place.
More frequency of busses arriving at stops
More pick ups and drop offs in Cayucos.
More San Luis to Los Osos strait trip via LOVR
More Saturday service between SLO and Morro Bay
More stops and smaller fees
More stops, more bus stations (centers)
Nicer drivers, better control over passengers (12, 14); making sure disabled get on first and get seats.
No improvements necessary
No, working well for me.
None
None--the systems in place fit my needs perfectly.
Punchcard. I use the bus, but only 3 times/week (not enough for a monthly bus pass cost). Punchcard would be
easier & I would probably use bus more.
Reinstate route that goes to Madona Plaza for RTA
Serving more areas in Nipomo. Only serving 1/2 of Nipomo--missing lots of people. Times work well.
Slightly wider seats and to wait longer at bus stops
There should be an 11:33 or 12:33 pick up from Cuesta
They are great. They could be on time more. They are often late.
Transfer services: Hour long waits if exact transfer missed. Cost--no $ transfer, 2 separate charges. Pass for both
City and RTA?
USB port to charge my cell phone. More travel on Sunday. Better bus passes (like the "LA tap card")
Works well for me.
Works well for me. MAYBE longer hours
Works well. Allmost ran out of gas. Transit saves $. Bus by HS to work--always miss connection.
Would like to use (if/but…)
I used 3 years ago and would like to try again. Was only 2x/day then.
Don’t know exact locations
I have to be somewhere at a specific time
I live in Atascadero. Long ride.
It's cheaper to carpool
Now I use Vespa/bike
Changes that might encourage use:
Better control of passengers
cheaper bus rates $25-30
Page E-5
I live of LOVR & Madona, take O'Connor to Cuesta. If there was a faster bus I definitely would
I would need to stop driving
If the bus went to South Higuera
It would be nice if the 9 stopped off the north end of Atascadero
More affordable than bike/Vespa
More pick up times, quicker transit, more buses
More stops, more centers. I would love to use the bus in general.
Take less time from AG to SLO
To go to school.
Other Comments:
Works really well. Really want to ride the double decker.
