CityLink officials want to find out what riders want out of their bus riding experience.
The bus agency will hold a series of public meetings next week to present the results of a recent transit study called CityLink on the Move and seek feedback for improvements.
CityLink spokeswoman Emily Watson said consultants at Nelson/Nygaard (Nye-gard) Associates have already identified one thing riders want.
“One of the big things is more bus stops and more shelters. That’s always something that, at least in my time here, is something that’s always needed and always requested. People want to have a bus stop that’s more convenient for them," she said.
The first open house meeting for feedback will be on Tuesday, June 11 from 6 to 9:30 a.m. at the CityLink Transit Center.
