I was able to get my 31 Day bus pass back today from Five Seasons Transportation. I was talking to a operations manager Brad DeBrower and asked him how often riders put their passes into the dollar bill spot on accident. He told me more often than you’d think and took me back to the office to show me a fare box they had set up. I told him that I’m a driver for CyRide during the school year and turns out he graduated from Iowa State in Community and Regional Planning. He complimented CyRide’s great system, and said he’d like to make a lot of improvements at Five Seasons to become more like it. At any rate, I was glad to talk with him and now know there’s at least one good guy at Five Seasons Transportation. Even though I still believe it a very lacking transit service, my impression of the Five Seasons staff has fortunately improved. I now, once again look forward to being a regular transit rider in Cedar Rapids.
