Some people are having to wait up to 90 minutes for a bus. Officials want to get that down to around 20 minutes.
“When someone is out there waiting for the bus, especially in this southern heat or in the rain, 90 minutes, two hours, that’s a long time to be standing,” said Samuel Tensley, the general manager of the M, the public transportation system that runs throughout the city.
It is a part of a transit development plan to make the bus system more efficient. A and to help accomplish this, they plan to add 10 buses to their fleet over the next year. Years ago, downtown trolleys rolled through the streets. There were a staple of the capital city and offered multiple routes for tourists and residents alike. Now there is an effort to bring them back.
In the meantime, the city is maintaining its current fleet of buses. Two buses had air conditioning problems this week but they have since been fixed, the city official said.
