When asked to rate their experience on MBus from 1 - 5 (1 representing "Not Good" and 5 representing "Very Good") an overwhelming majority indicated satisfaction while using the system. This shows that current passengers are dedicated to riding transit, and will most likely continue to do so in the coming years. It's time for the Central Campus Transit Center to catch up to the rest of University of Michigan's transportation system, and support riders in their daily commutes.
When we surveyed a group of 90 students about their opinion on a ban on private vehicles at the CCTC, the overwhelming majority was either in strong support (44%) or moderate support (18.9%) of said restrictions. Only 11% of respondants were strongly against the ban. It is very obvious to passengers and pedestrians that private vehicles are the cause of so many headaches regarding congestion and bus service decreases. Is it obvious to the university?
When asked to rate how they feel while using the crosswalks at the CCTC, over 32% of students indicated they were unhappy with their experience navigating traffic and other pedestrians. With so many vehicles passing by in both directions of travel, it can be difficult to negotiate while passing through on foot. While 41% of respondants indicated a "Good" experience while using the crosswalks, we believe the almost 50% of other responses indicates a problem worth solving.
