Top 5 Things Local Business Can Do

Provide patrons up to date bus stop, schedule and route information when asked (many buses such as the 38 only run Monday through Friday during the morning and afternoon rush hours, and routes this year may not be the same as last year);

Participate in Metro's new CommuteCard program now available to employees of small business and nonprofits, not just large institutions. The CommuteCard is a year-long unlimited ride pass that is reimbursed at $1.15/ride (no transfer), and can be used periodically or daily. Please go to www.cityofmadison.com/metro/Fares/CommuteCard/CommuteCard.html for more information. Contact Peg Anthony at 266-6545 or panthony@cityofmadison.com to pursue matters even further;

Encourage feedback (suggestions, complements or complaints) as Metro needs to know what actually occurs, and how it could improve. Feedback can be provided by phone at 266-4466 or on the Internet at http://forms.cityofmadison.com/metro/Contact%20Us/FeedbackForm.html. Provide as much information as you can. This may include time and date of incident, location (landmark, intersection etc.), route number, direction bus was headed, bus number (inside and on the rear of the bus), and driver description.

Show your commitment to our community by being a visible sales outlet. For more info see www.cityofmadison.com/metro/Fares/BecomeSalesOutlet/BecomeAnOutlet.htm.

Join Madison Area Bus Advocates in our effort to improve the bus as a safe, efficient, clean, convenient, and affordable means of travel throughout the greater Madison area. Encourage and empower others as well.
