What a simpleton. 1. A

What a simpleton. 1. A dedication to getting the bar crowd home safe on Friday and Saturday nights from downtown. Buses running until 3am up and down Market street and Carolina Beach road. 2. Service to the beaches. Does a bus even come CLOSE to Wrightsville Beach or Carolina Beach? 3. Better tracking of bus locations, and routes that run on time. LED signs with real time bus tracking at major stops. 4. Better bus STOPS. In monkey junction the bus stop is located at the absolute most random place possible, the back of the Lowes shopping center. And in all my time living here, ive seen a bus stop there 3 times, maybe. In this town, you never know when a bus is coming or where it is going to. The situations in which people would ride the bus most, at night after partying and to the beaches, are completely non-existent. You would think with the amount of DUI's in this town that it would be a major priority, but I believe buses stop running at 11pm, when the bars are just beginning to get packed. And it doesn't have to be alot. 2 buses running up and down Market to College Road, 2 running up and down Carolina Beach road. This can get people at least close enough to home to encourage them not to drive home from downtown drunk. If we don't start planning for public transit now, it will never get better. Sure it may be more costly right now, but the population in this town isn't going down. More people are going to come to Wilmington, period. And more people means more traffic.
