Thank God metrocog is doing this, been passing on going to the next meeting I could to say exactly what I am about to here with far less cussing there. Grew up on the gbt system so I love it but I always saw some issues.

  1. System Map. Seriously I understand that routes can change but having blazers on the pole of the particular route with and another for the wider system with Street names and / or points of interest is fairly cheap to do.

At the very least a full pdf on gogbt.com of an overview of of the system. It's impossible to find and I'm not tech unsavy.

I know these are more expensive but reach goals:

  1. signal and Lane priority.

  2. more circular routes that reduce the going to the main hub for transfers and make the network more like a network.

With that smaller node bus stations would be a huge improvement.

  1. at least 20/7 service. We know 24/7 is a big ask but 20/7 or even 18/7 is reasonable service level for more people to even give up their cars.

Other than that:

  1. Far more transparency with route changes

  2. dedicated and branded Express services

Thank you, had to get all that off my chest.

Thanks you for your response! Metro meets with GBT throughout the development of the MTP so be sure to fill out the survey so that this great feedback gets incorporated into the Plan. Survey Link: http://bit.ly/travel-2050

For service maps see page 4 of the previous MTP: https://metrocog-website.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/Website+Content/MTP/Executive+Summary.pdf or https://ctmetro.maps.arcgis.com/apps/MapJournal/index.html?appid=d1a3f161da3c4d89ba0b64bd375ae478 if you prefer an interactive map, like me (on the lefthand sidebar Transit is 4th)!

Individual Route maps are on GBTs site: https://gogbt.com/routes-maps/route-1, I will reach out to confirm where the best place for finding printed maps is.
