SAN MARCOS TRANSIT PLAN I FINALREPORT City of San Marcos Depending on the number of students living along the route, consider decreasing the running time to 45 minutes or establish connecting routes to decrease running time. Don't care. Don't use this route. Every 60 minutes is not acceptable if you want someone to actually use the service. Finally, a bus to the high school and Amazon. Thankyou, smart move! I don't ride any buses, so can't provide feedbackon this question. I hope in the future, as development continues along Hwy 123, that routes may be considered to get people from neighborhoods there to the university and downtown. I also hope that some sort of integrated bike or trail network can be developed to connect outlying areas to downtown. Thankyou! I need to Rt 1 to run every 30 min and on Saturdays. I would hope this will closely look at needs for high school students and their bus needs *after SMC ISD bus hours. Interesting. Leave it alone it works fine! More frequent. My only concern would be that students and people alike don't have time to wait a full 60 minutes for the bus to make its loop. Needs to run on Sundays. Serve Schieb Mental Health Center on one route. Thanks The peakservice idea only idea is supported for Redwood. U nless SMCISD is going to allocate some resources, in lieu of this route, suggest serving Redwood with a simplified line running just along Redwood Rd. / Wonder World Drive and tying in to the #1 at CTMC (along with the revised #1 route mentioned in the response above). General Comments: Why are there no questions about the "Express" routes ... which should not be called "University" Express btw? The routes, especially the Express routes, are not legible and need to be simplified. The objective for M F complexes cannot/should not be service right to the front door but should be within a reasonable walk or bike shed of destinations so that this system, with limited resources, can be operated efficiently and with viable frequency. Right now, it feels like the systems have been bolted together, not integrated. This change is a good one. Keep thinking to better San Marcos. Thanks. This route covers a VERY large distance at VERY low frequency. It's not clear who this will serve. Surely not Amazon employees? This will not get used in this design. And a transfer point at Star Park is not a great idea. What is "peak times"? Will that make Route 1 a 2 -hour route when Route 6 is added to it? Why not have all your buses stop where the number 5 stops today, on campus? Students work at these places. Would recommend working with Amazon to provide more frequent service to and from other connecting lines, with less frequent service to Redwood and the high school. You are eliminating a stop at La Vista senior apartments with over 250 residents. Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates, Inc. ( B-52
