- noticed small schedule on pole - too small for elderly or people with eye problems?
- wheel chair passenger waiting
- smell of delicious bbq ribs somewhere...

- sit at back of bus
- notice young mom with child at back of bus, she stands with stroller, purse, and bag. child sits. bus packed
- lots of useless signage "Exit by the rear doors" with ultra small type"
- stop request (button or string) makes BING sound
- automated voice announcing stops difficult to hear at times
- two displays for stop requested, on electronic with stop name, the other just plastic
- at stop, two more BING BING sounds
- ER exit on ceiling
- comfortable at the back, with lots of leg room, difficult to exit if person sitting next to me
- temperature comfortable
- don't notice engine noise
