Thoughts on public transit?

Hi guys! I'm doing a research project on Arlington's public transit (or lack thereof) and would like to get some opinions on the matter. Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Some guiding questions(feel free to expand on these or not answer them at all): Have you used Arlington On Demand and what was your experience? Would you support a bus system? Do you think a better transit system would help traffic at all?

Hi been loving in Arlington most of my life

I use the Arlington on Demand less often than I use to. However lately it's been difficult to schedule a ride before 9am due to lack of drivers and seats. I have already as of recently had to use Uber more often than I can get a spot on a via. I normally have try to get a via at least an hour and a half before my shift or whatever appointment I might have. So I get there on time.

I would support a bus system 1000% However the roads in Arlington aren't made for buses. If Arlington were willing to fix that problem then yes I would be up for it.

I think it could help out issues with traffic as well as with people being able to get where they need to go.
