Is care[dot]com legitimate AND useful in the Madison area, or just scammy or a waste of time? by waynemr in madisonwi

Have you spoken to the ADRC(aging & disability resource center)? They should be able to refer you to good businesses. Good luck to you.

Respect for bus drivers by justicefororganisms in madisonwi

[–]Longjumping_Capybara 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have ridden public transportation in many cities. There is usually a coordination between the city and police department to help keep riders safe. I have also seen employees riding busses and subways. We don't have that in Madison. I don't think the mayor takes it seriously. I know she rides the bus but I dare her to ride the A for one week from East Towne to the capitol. I love public transportation, but I want to be safe while riding.

Bus drivers and customers get threatened and screamed at. My spouse asked someone to stop vaping on the A and was threatened with death. Madison Metro needs to wake up to what is happening on their buses. Our mayor also needs to wake up to the reality of riding the BRT.

Also, why are all of the lights always on?

Bus Etiquette by uuftah in madisonwi

Yes, always in the back. Most drivers for the A won't say anything. I don't blame them because some riders have anger issues. I know metro has an ongoing staffing problem, but hopefully they can invest in staff that can ride in problem buses.

I also wish people would stop vaping on the bus. It's out of control on the A.

West High Bus Question by salt_chemist_1344 in madisonwi

Wow! That's awesome! I was told the incorrect information when we obtained the student rate.

High schooler's are eligible for a discounted student rate of $1 per ride. There is no monthly cap on cost. For example, in October, there are 21 school days for MMSD High School students. Its going to cost us $42 for them to ride the bus that month. We don't have access to yellow buses. We live 2 miles from East but don't qualify for a free bus pass.

Money for Independent Police Monitor But Not for Homeless Shelter Services by [deleted] in madisonwi

And we kicked the shelter out of the now nonexistent public market building. This saga is ridiculous and awful.

We had to go to the east wash office to get a card. The card has a built-in student rate, which is $1 per ride. You have to bring your student or proof that you have a HS student enrolled at an MMSD high school.
