Bad schedules steal time from transit workers and transit riders.

Take part in Transit Worker Appreciation Day by advocating for better scheduling at PRT. Share your story about how better schedules could mean better days for riders and workers:

image description: photo of bus with a quote from a Bus Operator on the 6, “On the 6, they added 6 minutes to the inbounded but took 5 minutes from the outbound. And you have to walk 200 yards to the bathroom and back, but no time.”
image description: photo of a bus with a quote from a Bus Operator on the 54, “The schedule gives operators on the 54, from Polish Hill to Oakland 21 minutes, but from Oakland to Polish Hill on the same route is 13 minutes. That makes us late and kills our layover time.”
