Transit Cape Breton needs a lot of work. The Transit System as become unreliable and unsafe. One may ask why the system is unreliable, simply the buses are not stopping at scheduled stops (or skipping right by them), and Drivers expecting riders to wave to the drivers in order to be picked up, Drivers are not informing dispatch of delays, so on and so forth. One may also ask why the system is unsafe, first of all, Buses are traveling at speeds over the speed limits, Drivers are not paying attention to the road as much as they are chatting with a regular rider, Drivers are not slowing down for potholes and such, Screws from windows and advertisement postings, so on and so forth. The lists continue. Transit Cape Breton Mission Statement reads as follows......... "To operate a safe, efficient, dependable and effective public transportation system with customer satisfaction being the leading factor in the future progress and growth of the department." This is a false statement from start to finish. The System needs more scheduled stops with more scheduled times. The System has become almost unusable to the working person. Something has to be done about this. This is a time where all of those who depend (Or would want to depend) on the transit system to go about their everyday lives to step up and express your thoughts, feelings, and stories.

The stories coming in about drivers blowing past stops and speeding through potholes prove that Transit Cape Breton is failing us daily. Management acts like their mission statement is worth the paper it is printed on while they completely abandon the people who need this service to survive. I am tired of waiting for them to acknowledge this disaster so we are forcing them to look at the reality of their neglect.

The brass at Transit Cape Breton can no longer pretend this system is functioning when so many of us are shouting about their negligence. This momentum proves that riders are finished with being ignored by an administration that clearly does not care about our safety or our time.

They need to stop worrying about chatting with friends and start watching the road conditions. Those potholes are no joke.

Sick of being late for work because the driver just blew right past the marked stop. Happens way too much.

TRANSIT CAPE BRETON IS THE WORST. NEVER ON TIME AND THE DRIVERS ARE SO RUDE TO PEOPLE JUST TRYING TO GET HOME.

I was on a bus last week and the driver was texting while going down the hill. Totally unsafe. Fix this now!

It is sad that we have no other options. They keep raising the prices but the service just gets worse every year.
