Here's What We're Hearing from Our Community
This past fall, Pierce Transit conducted workshops, conversations, and received input on the future of our transit system. Take a look at what we’re hearing.
See a summary of what we heard during our first phase of public outreach in Fall 2009 >>.
“Pierce Transit has the best drivers, bar none! They’re always friendly, outgoing, and helpful.”
“The services Pierce Transit provides are vital. You are too important to let fail.”
“Simplify the route 1 stops – more express like downtown stops and other stops on Pacific”
“Canyon road is becoming a very large employment center and business location sure to attract many new riders. When this economy is back, it would be a sound idea to invent this route and continue to better the bus service in Pierce County.”
“Continue using clean fuel!”
“I notice that King County Metro has GPS tracker devices installed on all its buses, so that riders can check the exact location of the bus from a computer, thus reducing 'waiting for the bus' time. That's a great idea that I'd love to see Pierce Transit implement. Thanks.”
“The bus stop spacing in downtown Tacoma is too frequent. Compare the spacing to downtown Seattle and Portland where their systems use skip-stops.”
“More frequency – less stops”
“Buses need to get through traffic faster”
“SHUTTLE is invaluable!!!”
“Service allows my 25 year old son to go to work every day - would support increase in fare”
“I think any update of the transit system should include a much more frequent Olympia express bus. Personally I would be willing to pay a higher fare to make this possible.”
“No more fare increases!”
“Move people to spend money, to work, and to events”
“I would like to see an express bus connecting Tacoma to downtown Puyallup during the day.”
“Most personnel is friendly and helpful, please encourage employees to stay that way!”
“Riders need closer access to goods and services where we transfer, so while we're waiting for a bus, we can best use our time to take care of daily errands. I think it would be more convenient for riders to be able to make more transfers on-street”
“I ride route 1 to work every morning. It’s reliable and the drivers are always friendly. I love the flexibility of the “every 15 minute” schedule!”
We’ll be adding to this page as the PT Tomorrow process moves ahead.
