Some of you may not know, but since April 2, 1973, these two routes have been on, what some of the passengers promptly and appropriately numed "crazy time". During -the middle of the day, and all;d<t,; Saturday,when the loads are light, these buses, are on the regular 30 minuteschedule,'but during the morning and afternoon busy hours there is one bus every 5 minutes. No changes were 'made in the schedules of'6ther lines. How has the change to a 35 minut6 busy hour schedule affected the bus' patrons of the Ior:a City bus system? 1. then the'iouncrest route was put:on "crazy time", that automatically; put the West Benton route on "crazy time" too, even though drivers can easily cover that route in 30 minutes'-- in fact, there is,a short lay -over period for drivers to fall back on when needed'. 2. The 35 minute schedule isf most confusing, not only to the bus patrons of these two routes, butlalso to those who transfer thereto :from otherlines, since each bas leaves downtown at a'different number of minutes after the hour. 3. Worst of all, passengers on the 'Poen crest and Wert Benton buses miss transfer connections with the other buses that, leave dormtown',on the hours 'ands' half hour ;which '-means that ifrthey are to arrive at their destinations on time theymust leave home `as,much as 20 or 25 minutes earlier `'ban ",ay would`' if these two routes were also on 30: minute schedules.', Those who transfer to Townnrert°and West Benton buses miss connections with other lines on their', return trips. '4•' For working people and students, bound for home in the late.afternoon, the 35 minute schedule' means delay. r'or example,' those( who could leave down- town at 5:30 on the 30 minute schedule must now wait "until '545, and those > who left at 6:00 must now wait until 6:20. (;See schedule attached). 5. With a 35 minute rush, hour; schedule there is one less trip each week day than on Saturday. This means more crowding: more par:,eengers who need to 'stand. 6. The confusion,and inconvenience to passengers which is caused by the 35 minute rush hour schedule would be much worse during the school year, if permitted to 'continue, than it hes been d,. -ring the summer when ,lie loads' have ,been much lighter'. I'wish it was possible for the Council to solve ;ill of Iowa City IV. prer.cnt day ;problems ar earily as, the problem of the 35 minute'' Pown'crest-`elost Benton, bus route can bhp solved. In'thir erre h!l ti,a:t„,)or Eonorablc t,,�dy would, need to do would be to atain route the Towncresi bus over the iluacatine .1vonue short-cut once( each round trip,' the same 'ns you did from Aovenber,' 1'171 to MV 1, 1972 -- and the same an the 1;e, did with the ,ii dvately owned. ,1 Rundell`bug durinlr its entire lifetime of:come thirty-three'yonrs. Becmir.e the short-cut' route is rh'orter'and much easier to 'drive than the round-nbout one'. each driver could easily nave the 5 minute %hich i, needed to make the round trip In �O minutes. Thio looks like. 0 clear care of "S7arto.iJt. va nt not” Thr, fab ."e r lor• rtcd c zn;'o -nuld no' ,ply ,-; kc `5 minute sohedule, iai- n.:ce:Irar,T for the two route; wider discussion: it Mould al:;ol return to the -ori dc. ntr; 'o the bill rceti.nc .venae area the rood bur, 'rervice thn;.- enjoyed W r � Council. Page 2. 8-15-1973• durin.�- the many Years that the bus system ,,as under private ownership. Back in :the 30, c., when Iowa City was much smaller, the Rundell bus went only as far as Seventh .'venue (later as far as Fouzzth Avenue; -and later yet to Wil,Liam StreeO, but trom the very bepinninr it made the Muscatine loop, :thus not only suvin" time also Civing f,,00d sor-.-ice to the people on R11 sides of the triangular -ciece of land. Thenu�.,.gcste,d change wo-ild benefit every passenger who upes i the Towncrest I that could be on time and one 30 minute bus, becatu-to ; wry would aE7ain have buses - schedule. not only durin� slack periods but during busy houi v as'well. The 1 971-72 proved that the To-,,ncrcs;t route can be experience �)Y tie scli-jol year of 1 covered in 30 iiinutes when the short-cut is: used once each round. trip. The: experienceU' of the school year of 1972-73 proved that it can't be done it' t2 ebures go both outbound and inbound over the, round-about route — the April 2, 1973 chang was an adinicrion of that. ��e to;a 35 minute schedule during rush hours i 1 The suggested change would mean one-way service for thooe of on and near the round-about route; in place of the present two-way service; But good ood. one-,way service is better than 2-w,ay service that has serious short-cominLxsj o C wh i ch I example., (One-third, or the short'stretch of Townnres'u route is � a typica 1-i V.I.Y's total b,-,-. mi-1-0J,_ 0110-14ay.) perhaps slightly more'of Io:a For those of us on or near the round-abbut route,'.I would like to say that at all times we have been more than willing to share the Toimcrert buswith our fellow-citizenrin tlie ;'.1(;)scatine Avenue area, the same as We had done for many years We knowhow wL:would feel if Muscatine,Avenue between Rundell and:.? , Streets had two-way service a nd had none at all. our willinf e. we �n sr to share ct that (as far as I have been able to d6termino) not is evidenced b,,r th I a I i even one person has appeared before the Council, or filed a letter or petition, suggesting that the round-aboy*uhgve double and the short-cut route nothinr 6 Good 2-way serrice I Would be nice for every principal street in the City ' L We could arford it. but with funds for public: transportation linitUcd, it is no more than richt that the buses we do have be shared. If at some time in the future the City can afford to have another bus rouse in southea.' Iowa City (jjortj�, oil the Rock Island tracks, it fniirbt be l possible to have 2-way,service on both the short-cut and round-about routor. Since hat day is not yet at'hand. I trust that your Honorable Body trill take t I a n route the Toi-mcrest -ill thinFs into consideration7 and that YOU will again each p round trip , as petitioned bits over the 1,� rcatinc Avenue short-cut once etr i for by the Muscatine Avenue area residents. 71 Ic -..1j30 Sheridan Ave to, ?
