Broward County Transit's Bus 55

This morning I needed to catch the normally reliable 55 bus in order to make a connection. The bus was late and nowhere in sight. When the 11 pulled up, I made the scary decision to take the 11 and hoped I would get my connection on that route and at the right time. It was a good decision.  On the way two people at the back of the bus were going back and forth about how unreliable the 55 has been. The man stated that he was stuck waiting for his bus for over an hour and a half. The woman said she was at her stop for the 5:25 the previous evening, but a bus didn't arrive until 6:40.

The man went on to say that he's going to have to get up at 4;00am just to get to his job on time. The woman said that she had worked two shifts yesterday and just wanted to get home. She suggested that Broward County Transit was changing drivers on the routes. 

Why would that be a problem?  Is this the first time drivers have changed routes?  Is there no procedure in place to assure buses will be on time to get people to and from work or school even with different drivers???!!

This is not the first year this "service" has been in operation.  How are these routine changes able to bring so much pain to the people it supposedly "serves"???  It's disgusting.

Broward County Transit and everyone who works in any sort of management position should be shamefaced when discussing this "service" or even admitting that they work there.

Also, where's the "advocacy" of Chip LaMarca??  So far, I'm not seeing it as I have not heard from him nor his office staff, AND I still have not received a response  from Timothy Garling regarding my letters that I sent to him well over a month ago.

Until next time,  I remain,
