I hear the Streamline system is great, but I had a not-so-great experience. I wish I could always ride public transit, but living in Manhattan makes it a real pain if not impossible. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to take my four year old granddaughter on a bus ride. I stopped in Belgrade, picked her up, and drove into Bozeman. My plan was to catch the bus at Smith's, ride the route around, get off downtown, have coffee, etc., and then board the bus back to Smith's. It was really windy, so we were kind of close to the building, but we were right in front of the Leaf and Bean, which is where the bus is supposed to pick up It was right on time, but never even slowed down. It just raced through the parking lot at about 25 MPH. I thought this was a timed stop-emphasis on stop! I immediately called Streamline. The girl on the phone said she guessed she would tell her supervisor. I said I hoped so. We weren't stranded, but what about those who rely on the bus and would be an hour late for work or a doctor's appointment? Someday there might be a bus every ten minutes but not yet. A few days later, I was having coffee at the Leaf and Bean at Smith's. Here comes the bus, lickety cut, and didn't stop that time either. How does the driver know that the lady on the curb is just waiting to cross, or is actually waiting for the bus to pick her up? Like I said, I love mass transit, but this one will not flourish if the rules are not followed.
