New Service Update
Service began operating out of Southwest Station yesterday (Monday, January 4), and I wish I
could say it all went offwithout a hitch - but I can't. It seems the majority of people like the
additional service, the express connectors, and the amenities the station offers (especially
considering the option is waiting outside in -0 degree weather). The negative comments were that
the parking was to far from the hub, we had two routes run hot and had to double back to pick-up
passengers, signage into and out of the lot was inadequate, the route numbering system was
confusing and inconsistent, and the assortment of comments related to dissatisfaction with change
in general.
We have analyzed the complaints and come up with the following plan to address those that can
and should be fixed. The following is what we intend to do:
Parking to far away from the station. We still intend to pursue additional funding to
construct a parking deck. There is little we can do to address this in the short term.
Routes running hot. We have retrained the two drivers and have made a slight change in the
operating mn time. This change will appear on the new schedule (see below).
Signage. We have been trying to get the sign contractor (EF Anderson) out and finish the
signage plan at the station. We have received commitment they will finish putting up the signs by
the end of the week.
Route numbering. As you remember, we instituted the new regional route numbering system
with our most recent changes. One thing that wasn't overlooked and we thought may be a problem
was that some routes carry the same mute number but may not travel to the exact destinations. We
thought the new electronic signs recently installed on the buses might eliminate the confusion, but
it didn't. We are in the process of printing placards to place in the windows of the buses outlining
the stops the bus will be making. We are also going to reprint the express schedule giving each
route that does something different a different route number. The reprint will also provide us the
opportunity to correct the two mn times that were inaccurate.
On an up note, the lot at Southwest Station has had over 225 cars in it the last two days which is
slightly better than what we had been averaging at the Eden Prairie Mall. We sold over $800 in
bus passes, and have made about $50 in coffee sales. We also had over 30 cars at the Walnut Park
and Ride (Chaska) which historically has generated between 15-20 per day, and our two new
routes out of the Preserve (Eden Prairie/Hwy 169) have really taken off, averaging one full and
one half full bus each day.
More information will be provided at the Commission Meeting on the 28th.
