Buses are chronically late, or never even show up. I have lived in Charlottesville for several years now and it has always been the same. Service has been reduced during the pandemic, with city buses from the hospital now only running every hour in the afternoon. This makes getting home from work very challenging for hospital employees.nnThe drivers also scare me with their driving habits. Frequently driving over the speed limit on residential roads, failing to stop completely, and hitting the brakes so hard that I have to brace myself on the handrails. Without seatbelts, I view this as a safety issue.
I spent over 40 years in mass transit managing and operating transit systems throughout the United States and can honestly say that this system has some major problems. It is totally unacceptable to repeatedly put out notices that service will not operate at certain times and certain locations. In a City with a major University I cannot understand this seemingly poorly operated system.
Skipped an entire route because they didn't have a driver. First of all, what is the point of a schedule if you you don't stick to it. Second, that effects people's life when you just decide to skip a route. That means it takes longer to get to or from work. This is totally unexceptable and the second time for the same route at the same time that this has happened. Tighten up.
Generally reliable and on time. Busses are often way too cold during the summer.
Alot of the drivers are rude, disrespectful and will make any excuse not to stop and pick up passengers.nnThe bosses are obviously not much better because they can't fill their staff so they just randomly stop running busses without telling anyone.nnThey have also repeatedly driven right past me when I was sitting at the bus stop.nnAbsolutely avoid giving them any money. They will keep it and leave you stranded.nnMatt who drives route 5 almost ran me over one day because I practically jumpped in front of the bus because he was obviously going to try to drive right past me again, and that was the last bus of the night. He then proceeded to yell and cuss at me for over 10 minutes while the rest of the bus stared uncomfortable and silent.nnAlso, the new schedule has some of the busses coming at random times, instead of the same time every hour... And apparently they can't even stick to their own idiotic schedule.nnThese people are either totally incopentant, or intentional theves.nn1 star. But only because negitive five isn't an option.nnWhoever is in charge needs to be fired
