Trip
planning service to be launched in May
|
|
Metrobus will be launching a new
on-line trip planning service later this month.
The new service will allow visitors to Metrobus Dot Com
to plan trips by receiving route information
instantaneously from the company's website.
Metrobus Manager of Marketing & Information Services
Mark Chancey says it's just the latest in a series of
enhancements to the website. "Our
goal over the last 18 months has been to get customers
to our website by building the best website in public
transit, period. Today we receive upwards of 50,000
visits each month and our web site is the most efficient
way for us to respond to customer inquiries." |
 |
|
Using
the new service will only take a few seconds.
Users will enter origin and destination
information and after submitting the form, he or she
will receive back the required route(s) to complete the
trip along with a link to a live chat service in case
there are any questions remaining for the customer. A
virtual tour of the new service is available
by visiting Metrobus on the Web at
www.metrobus.com. |

Public transit makes a
difference
Cheryl Bolden is a strong advocate for public
transportation. She knows she wouldn't be where she is
today if she hadn't had the bus |
|
to rely on for transportation in tougher times. Cheryl
was an unemployed single mother without a car, but she
was determined to continue to learn, get a good job and
still be able to spend time with her son. She depended
on the bus for all of her needs. She rode the bus to all
of her job interviews, to the grocery store and even to
the hospital emergency room once when she was very ill. |
 |
|
|
Times have changed for Cheryl. Today she works for the City of Des Moines,
Iowa and uses her own car for travel on the job and to
and from work. She continues to use the bus when it's
convenient, as she has done since the age of four.
Cheryl says that she is just one of thousands of women
in her area who has relied on public transportation to live a life that includes the ability to get to work, seek health care, shop for food and necessities, and enjoy community life.

customer writes: "I would like to thank Metrobus for all the years of service that I have received since I first came to St. John's.
I no longer use Metrobus as I own a vehicle now,
however, I am considering riding the bus again next
winter as I know that your drivers are professional and
very cautious."
