Not how I wanted to start @CLEforTransit challenge week, but the truth is the 16 bus drove right past me and I missed my chance to get to work on time via bus. Things happen and maybe the driver didn’t see me. I have backup options but not everybody does. High frequency matters!
@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit x.com/rebecca__maure… @GCRTA the driver sees you holding your phone - doesn't see you at the actual stop ...honestly your fault. But you get points for trying. PLS focus on finishing east side trail connection to give #multimodal options to riders.

@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit This is exactly why people don’t take RTA. They try it once or twice and then they’re done.
@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit My Father drove for Cleveland Transit System. We had frequency in Cleveland before the "regional" GCRTA fix and all the municipal bus systems dissolved. The #6 bus along Euclid Avenue was known for its every 6 minute frequency. We had bus routes on Cleveland side streets.
@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit Were you waving at the driver or just slowing down near a bus stop? If it's the latter, I'm not surprised the driver didn't think you were a rider.
@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit You should AskDomm to get you there. 216-904-7827
@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit It’s happened to me that the bus flies by and I’ve needed to hop in the car. My approach: I wave energetically now when it’s my bus and shake my head no and smile when it’s not the # I need driving by.
@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit Every year it gets harder and harder to take the bus from south Cuyahoga county to downtown. Use to take the bus to games, can’t get close now, can’t get home at all.
@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit This happened to me constantly when I rode the 26 and got on at w. 61st. I'd be standing there for 15 minutes jumping up and down to keep warm, they'd just zoom by me. Idk if they were full, or zoning out, or what but yeah, it stinks.
@rebecca__maurer @CLEforTransit No you were supposed to wait on the next bus and be late like everyone else now that's participation in a challenge don't talk about it be about it.
