15. Study Public Outreach

16. Public Feedback Public Engagement Flyer
“Smaller bus headways please!! :)”
“Please connect the peripheries. All the bus routes go downtown. It's impossible to go to the next neighborhood without a long ride to the center and back.”
“I would take the bus more, but it is such a long wait after getting out of work that I can walk home in almost the same amount of time.”
“More night service. Work shift ends at 7PM.”
Would like “real-time information” and “more information at bus stops”
“Need more frequent CT transit service, especially during rush hour. There are 40 min between Q bus departures from the green to Westville during rush hour!”
