There is lots of room for improvement in the bus system. East-west routes in particular are very poor. The convoluted path many routes overall take and the parade of buses queued up on Barrington at rush hour still has not been addressed. The system is still largely focused on the downtown peninsula. Good luck if you need to work in Bayers Lake or Burnside.
