I would love to ride the part bus but the schedule is not at all usable for an 8:00 - 5: 00 downtown employee. If we could get the bus to arrive in the downtown between 7:30- 8:45 and leave Between 5:15 and 5:30 I would be on it. The current schedule arrives at 7:10 or 8:15 and leaves 4:45 or 5:50. Based on on what I've seen in Thomasville If me and two other people could use it we would double the ridership.

I'm looking forward to riding a PART bus as soon as I can find a map showing designated stops between Davidson County and the UNCG campus.

I'm a student at UNCG and I use HEAT when it runs during the school year, about three or four times a week. I think its a great alternative and it saved me a ton of money. The trouble with the Triad's public transportation is its lack of communication and workability with the public. I'd like to see them spend more time in the communities asking us what we need from them and how they could deliver. Public transportation also brings up negative thoughts in most people's minds, as their pride keeps them riding in their own cars. I do believe that will change now to a degree, and will even more so if gas prices continue to rise.

I would love to see a service for Greensboro commuting employees of LabCorp in Burlington. I would love to ride but need to be there by 8:00 AM and can't leave until 5:00 PM.
