I asked the EBT folks why there was no notice beforehand and they had no answer for that.
Meanwhile HART ran a tight ship and were running smoothly as all their buses were in their correct spots.
NICE on the other hand it appeared hadn't even given their drivers the heads up as they were still waiting at the old stop in front of the mall. |
I know NICE gave notice to their riders, but I can't believe they didn't give notice to their drivers.
Are The SCT stops at Walt Whitman now like they are at Smith Haven and routes have a designated place to stop?
That was good of EBT to send people to direct their bus traffic. |

As far as NICE is concerned that was the story for at least the early part of the day, I can't tell you what happened after 9:30AM there.
It does in fact appear the SCT will in fact be doing that, I just hope the signs and schedules are posted on there as well like at Smith Haven. And it certainly was good to see EBT taking charge on the new stops when it was completely clear SCT dropped the ball big time. It's not like they popped up these shelters overnight, they've been there for a fair number of weeks. |
