List bus routes and schedules on Google Maps. This way people can use Google Maps to plan bus trips. The county I moved from used it and it was very effective for both locals and visitors to the area.

Students in this area have been dropping out of early morning classes at UC Merced (scheduled by university) because they have no way to get to University at this early hour. We are doing a disservice to the young people of this community who are trying to continued their education.
This is serious as they have to drop classes they loose financial aide and cause issues with scholarships when they drop out of classes and unit total drops below 12 units.
As a community we need to support our students who are trying to move forward in our community, obtain their education.

Do not post stops on your online schedule that your bus drivers do not for fill. This is the reason I stopped taking the bus in the first place. Inconsistent stops, arrival times, and what irritates the most is the bus drivers lie about it. I asked the driver that finally picked me up yesterday (1 hour and 20 minutes later) if you still had the 6:25am and 7:08 am pick up because it didn't show and the bus driver actually told me that the driver called in their pick up times so they definitely completed those morning routes. I have been riding your bus system on and off for a very long time and I have never seen a bus driver call in every stop time to assure they are doing it. I assure you that bus did not do that scheduled route time, and after this morning I know for a fact even though it is on your route schedule they are not for filling it.

I have waited over 15 mins twice in the past two weeks for a bus that never came. And since they come only every 50 mins, I will be late for a meeting at work. People (especially low-income) can't and won't use the bus system if it is this unreliable because they (unlike me) will get fired for showing up late. People can't leave +90 mins early every day because their bus might not show up on time or at all. This is a massive failure and needs to be fixed. Make the buses more reliable or make them come more often, so that a missed/late bus can get people where they need to go on time!

So a lot of the people I've riden the bus w/ from Turlock that are college students and communting to Merced happen to live on the southern part of Turlock, or on the country outskirts, myself included.
It's awesome that we have the H-Route now available and think it'd be super convinient to add a stop on Lander where the H-Route already goes by and the T-Route doesn't.
Suggested stops would be:
-the gas station on Glenwood and Lander by Almond tree where charter buses to MX already stop
-Lander and Simmons, heading towards Hilmar, a safe location where school buses already drop students off during the school year
Or locations not already in the H-Route's route would be anywhere suitable between Linwood and Glenwood on Lander.
It can be hard to ride my bike to the Hilmar Cheese/Turlock transpo from Lander due to having to bike next to lots of semi-trucks so a Lander stop would be very helpful.
Thanks for your consideration.

I have a huge chunk of free time in between classes and I rather go home during it, but I can't make the 11:30 bus and I don't want to wait around for the 3:45 bus. I would appreciate if there were more times that the bus comes from Merced to Los Banos in the afternoon.

I suggest that the bus fare be lowered a doller to better suit the individuals taking the bus on a daily basis. The bus is a great source of public transportation and gets us to where we need to be and on time. Our economic situation isn't the greatest in Merced county and The $3 price for a ticket is steep for a daily bus commuter and definitely for those who need help financially. Dropping the price a bit would definitely get more people riding and enjoying the bus and may help the economy by getting more people to work on time as well as opening more opportunities for those traveling without a vehicle. I am genuinely a fan of Merced county's public transpo, I just want to push the value of the costumer and helping out our pockets is an important part.
Thank you

The lack of buses between 8:50 and 12:25 for the Le Grand/Planada makes it nearly impossible to keep time for any appointment, doctor or otherwise. Residents of Le Grand and Planada have to take the 8:50am bus just to make sure we're on time for an appointment at 1:30pm. That's not really reasonable, is it? Having less and less pick ups in Le Grand/Planada makes it feel like the transit system isn't concerned with helping us get to where we need to go.
