SAN MARCOS TRANSIT PLAN I FINALREPORT City of San Marcos Comments Ninety-six online survey respondent provided specific comments. The most common topics were: ■ More coverage (24% of comments) ■ More frequent service (9%) ■ Integrated service (8%) ■ Weekend service (5%) ■ Later service (5%) Online survey comments have been edited for clarity and grammar. 5 years is crap to implement this plan. hire the contractor, have them buy the buses and hire the drivers. make the university give you info. for where students, faculty and staff live so you know where to add the stops A clockwise Campus Loop bus on a more time -efficient route! Add or better bicycle crossings at 1-35 As a senior citizen, in the future it would be nice to have door to door service to go to doctor appointments, etc. As San Marcos continues to grow, we need to rely upon systematic studies, as well as lessons from other cities to improve our transportation infrastructure. San Martians should consider how transportation corresponds with new housing developments, rezoning ordinances, and other parts of the urban system. Public transportation (CARTS), in particular, is severely underused, while university buses do quite well. This issue represents a myriad of fascinating (and crucial) geographic problems that cannot simply be avoided, wished away, or amended into oblivion. We have to think pragmatically about a multimodal San Marcos that increases access for everyone. Bobcat Shuttle is GREAT, I would just like to see this same system expanded to other parts of San Marcos, such as public library, grocery stores, and places that I work. The current city bus system times conflicted with my work schedule, making them impossible for me to use. Bus transit is an excellentway to curb traffic, especially if it is efficient and quick. I think having more frequent buses with more bus stops will make the system easier for residents to use. I hope that if San Marcos plans to add more buses to the routes that the city purchases zero -emission or electric buses has wifi available. I think the current price is extremely affordable and hope that in the future, residents could have a swipe card or app they can use to pay for bus rides. Busses are always clean, courteous, and professional. I would ride it more if I didn't live so fa r from the bus stop. Can you please have a bus near Amazon. Amazon has 5,000 employees which at least 1,500 lives in Hays county. City has a lack of Handicap Parking spaces and badly needs to add more Handicap Parking spaces Connect bus service route to google maps. Makes it so convenient! Connect downtown with Wonder World business/commerce/country government/multi-family area by connecting Stagecoach across purgatory creek. Also, connect properties and trails from the purgatory green belt area along purgatory creekto the river to allow for a safe scenic route to our river and downtown area. Hire more traffic enforcement officers to enforce traffic laws and local traffic/public safety ordinances. Consider creating something like "Pickup" service in Austin Conversations around transit should also focus on the larger concept of mobility. Making sure that our streets are complete with comfortable and safe bike and pedestrian infrastructure is crucial when moving from a bus stop to a destination. We should focus on making a tighter networkof bus facilities that connect major services / entertainment/ employment / residential areas to make sure we utilize our resources more effectively. In addition, land use is also tied to mobility. As we continue to grow outwards, we force residents to travel by car, strain our Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. ( B-21
