NOTICE
Bus route change
Beginning Monday, May 5th, the number 312 bus will be changing its route and pick-up times. On Main Street, the bus will no longer stop at Elm, Sycamore, and Fir streets. It will add stops at Pine and Spruce streets.
Also, the 312 bus will travel east and west along Second Avenue, instead of Third. It will continue to stop at the same cross streets.
Finally, the bus will be changing the timing of its stops. Starting with the current 6 a.m. run, the 312 will now arrive at each stop on the quarter hour, instead of the half. The bus will continue to operate 12 hours daily, between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
We hope these changes will make the 312 more convenient for more people. The new 312 schedule is now available for free at all city 24/7 convenience stores. To see the schedule posted online, visit www.citybus.com. If you have any questions or comments about the changes, please call 555-8444 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or email supervisor@citybus.com.

Subject: Bus 312 route change
Hello,
I'm writing in regard to the recent changes for city bus 312. I have been riding the 312 for about three years now, catching the 7 o'clock bus at the Main and Elm stop each morning.
I'm dismayed at the changes, because the bus will no longer stop at Main and Elm. The stop has moved to Pine Street, which is nearly three blocks away from Elm. And uphill, to boot! What was the city's thinking in cutting down the number of stops along Main?
Also, the new timing of the 312 stops is inconvenient for me. I start work at 7:30. Catching the bus at 7 left me plenty of time to get to work, even if traffic was bad. Catching it at 7:15 threatens to make me later for work and stresses me out. Catching it earlier, at 6:45, gets me to work too soon while forcing me to wake up earlier than necessary.
I am sure there are others who share my concerns. Hopefully near future the city will consider making alterations in the new route and stop times based on customer comments.
Thank you for your consideration,
Dana Davis
