SAN MARCOS TRANSIT PLAN I FINALREPORT City of San Marcos It will help others. I don't like the 60 min part. Don't like the change. Too many bus changes so often. But I'll get used to it and I imagine everyone else will too. Thanks more frequent route 2 at least every 30 min I like the increased access on weekends and nights I don't take this route. Don't use this route. We pay for the CARTS Station so use it. This does not serve the needs of the community as efficient as the other routes More frequent It is distressing that there are no questions regarding the maroon routes here because this route overlaps quite a bit with those. Rather than running three "city" routes along Hopkins it seems that there should be some effort to integrate this route with the maroon routes, making it more frequentand eliminating the overlap. The divide between proposed service and branding on the "university" vs. "city" routes is extremely disappointing. Again, 60 minutes service is unusable and communicates a devaluing of the persons that rely on or desire to use transit. Any line that cannot be at least 30 minutes should be considered to be eliminated and served via micro transit services. This line appears to turn a circle around Mill St. Is the U niversity service "integrated" at all orjust bolted on? Express service should operate along the standard fixed routes lines and augment service during peak periods, not be its own separate lines with odd twists and turns. It's not the City's, nor the University's, responsibility to contort efficient transit lines to serve 1-2 poorly located MF complexes unless those complexes are going to pay for the service disruption they create. Get within their bike -sheds and then keep the lines simple. I do support this going into the Downtown Station. This route covers a VERY large distance at VERY low frequency. It's not clear who this will serve. This route overlaps with other proposed maroon routes and should not be duplicated in the system with such poor frequency. This route should be combined with the maroon routes for integrated service and improved frequency. Move the H U B. Needs to run on Sundays. Other than the proposed Transit Center. Merge Post and U hland and run down Cheatham and Riverside. This route is much shorter than all the others and contains significant overlap. A single route through areas that actually have transit dependent people would be better. Why are there no transfer points?! I am concerned about moving it away from the current CARTS intermodal center. On a 60 -minute schedule, there is plenty of time to proceed from the proposed newdowntown station to the multi -modal (and there provide an additional option for the residents of in -development housing in the downtown area). This description is confusing, so I'm going off of the map (and I hope my understanding of it is correct). L out also running a bus service on Sundays so people can go to church by bus. I think you'd probably get riders. Maybe combine like 3 routes into one to get enough. Why not have all your busses stop where the 5 stops today, on campus? Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc.
