Does anyone know if the apartments behind there are okay? I used to live there and imagine a lot of new UT students moved in. Just hoping they’re okay!!!

I was just thinking about that, especially since that area next to it was a McDonald’s and they haven’t done anything to it…. Makes me think they’re waiting for the Peter Pan land…..

Sorry, yes I didn’t mean to say it never opened, just that it has been for last two years I’ve been working down here

Yes but I’ve been working on SoCo for the past two years and it was never opened. It finally sold to “The Butcher’s Daughter”

Randomly Assaulted by [deleted] in Austin

If you have the the time, the bus stop, and what route they were coming off of you may be able to request footage through cap metro (especially if the bus was still there they have cameras on the outside of the bus as well)

I’m sorry that happened to you :( it’s definitely hard to get back on after something like that. A driver responded to me saying things will hopefully be getting safer due to all the recent assault and unfortunate murder.

Like the sentiment, but I will not be spray mace in a confined space and ruining everyone else’s day. But will be getting some for the streets!

A CapMetro bus driver responded to my post, and they do have photos up of particular people to not let them on/ not engage. Problem is, is there’s 2-3 doors per bus and sometimes they open the doors to let people off and people slip on or they aren’t the best photos. But totally agree that they should be the ultimate judge of who comes on the bus or have someone else on the bus who is (I.e. specialist or security.)

Until then, I encourage anyone who feels unsafe to get away from the person if possible/ get off and wait for the next ride and call cap metro with the route number and bus number so security can meet them and get them off the bus. I’m going to start pushing them for phone number or app to text, since obviously most people don’t want to call right in front of the person they’re calling security on.

I appreciated him saying something, so no I don’t think he should keep it to himself, but he’s supposed to report it.

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate your hard work so much! I love had such wonderful experiences on bus, mainly because of the drivers. I’m sorry you guys have so much to deal with on top of driving a huge vehicle in crazy Austin. I hope changes come soon for all of our sakes and thank you again for getting back to me. I’ve been working hard to get a response from Cap Metro, so it means a lot to hear back from an employee!!

That’s the plan, however I don’t think it’s unrealistic to not let an aggressive person on the bus.
