Client: Interview's at Bus Stop

(For number 1 see Missy Wicker's blog.)

Bus Shelter Interview Number 2

Dalegolo is definitely an interesting guy from East Los Angeles. He was wearing a hat pulled side ways, labeled LA and a shirt that was striped with neon colors. His shoes amazingly was coordinated with his shirt, which was a bright blue and other colors. He works for Regional Financing as a field agent. They give people cash loans and other types of loans. I told him that a field agent was a good job for him because he can easily relate with people and he agreed with me. Dalegolo is about in his 20s and has been living in NC for 2 years. He says his dad is in the hospital and that is what brings him here. When I asked him what he thought about NC he replied, “It’s different. The world is different, slower. In LA you have to be n point there is not time to gaze.” Dalegolo is a regular on the GTA, he says that he takes it everyday. He got excited when I asked him if it would be nice to have a bus shelter out here. He said, “yeah that way you don’t have to sit out here and worry about getting hemorrhoids.”Community

Bus Shelter Interview Number 3

Question: How often do you use public transportation?

Answer: I’m from Washington D.C. and I used the public transportation there a lot, but I have only used it once or twice here in Greensboro.

Question: Where do you usually go when you ride the bus?
Answer: The 4 seasons mall on High Point Road.

Question: What are the differences between our bus system and the one in D.C?
Answer: The bus talks to you, and tells you what bus stop they are on.

Question: What would make your bus riding experience more enjoyable?
Answer: If the bus would come more often, there are also no boards near the bus stop listing the different routes you can take and where they go. Another problem is that the bus signs are hard to find and not known to a lot of people.

Question: How can we change the bus stations to make it more pleasing for riders?
Answer: Make more stops have benches, have times posted that the bus will come and have a shelter for poor weather.
