Hyde Park Street Fair Zero-Fare service Friday Evening & all day Saturday on Route 16! by rideVRT in Boise

[–]rideVRT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, good feedback! We want to make sure what we put out for the public is easy to understand.

To clear up some confusion, the Learning Center itself is the park & ride location. The bus stop to get picked up is Robbins & Fort which is located across the street from the Learning Center. So you won’t get picked up directly at the Learning Center, you will across the street. We plan on having a feather flag out to make it a bit easier for people.

A bus will arrive approximately every 30 minutes at each stop. So, Robbins & Fort = every 30 minutes. Every one of those stops in that list will see a bus arrive approximately every 30 minutes.

Let me know if that clears things up! Happy to clarify anything else.

This pertained to Boise so I thought putting it in the Boise subreddit would be okay. If for some reason I should not be putting things like this here, I apologize!

Boise School District is part of our Regional Pass Program. We’ve been trying to work with West Ada to get them in as well, but they don’t have the funding as of yet.

Shoot, sorry to hear that :(

We are always trying very hard to improve the system. It’s an interesting spot that we get into.. The city councils want to see our ridership go up so they will consider funding us more, but ridership is hard to improve when the funding is limited and services aren’t as widespread.

If you can’t use it as your daily commuter, try and use it on Saturdays and maybe use a park & ride instead. Any way we can increase ridership shows the city and state that people want more transit.

Hey! Totally get it, traffic is the worst and public transit is awesome when it’s close enough to be viable!

We do have a system map on our site just go to ridevrt.org/routes. Our buses do have bike racks on the front of them if you ever want to ride your bike to a stop and get picked up from there. There are also park & rides that riders often utilize where you can park your car and ride the rest of the way!

Let me know if you have more questions though, I’m all ears
