As a Big Blue Bus transit rider I would like to express my displeasure with the new upgraded bus amenities/stops popping up around town. BBB has replaced benches that would accommodate at least three people with two seats jammed up against each other. These new seats are so uninviting that I guess it's all part of the plan to keep the homeless from using the benches, but we all must suffer now. And don't get me going on that round thing on the pillar that is supposed to protect you from what? I guess it wouldn't bother me except for the cost (even though it's from a grant, the money comes from my taxes somewhere) and the time each bus stop is out of service. Let's stop this now and rethink this whole project.
