The year has started with a bit of good news with the arrival of 10 new bart vehicles which will eventually grow with our help to a fleet of over 1,000 new vehicles. Barts current vehicles are the original set that were put into service over 40 years ago and its clearly time for a facelift. The new cars are spacious, quieter and easier to use, and feature three sets of doors for faster loading and unloading and real time maps and announcements for easy navigation and barts plan is to replace all of their

A positive trend. And im not going to go through all of these. You can find them in the report, which ill remind you guys later. So in the second goal, overall Customer Satisfaction is up, and for reference, a 2. 5 is a neutral score. So this is actually 3. 2. Its pretty good. Gaps and bunching refers to multiple buses all coming at once, and then having a gap between service. Really influences peoples daytoday feeling with muni, and its a big deal.

By placing a fourway stop here, people unfamiliar with the neighborhood might assume the other stops on edinburgh are four way as well. There is an environmental issue as well. Traffic stops increase gas mileage and pollution not to mention added to the stress of drivers because of the delay making them more aggressive which will turn to more accidents. I did a survey this morning from 7 45 to 8 15 at t
