What We Heard
“Primo is a big improvement for San Antonio and would be even better if added to other routes (550/551-Airport).”
“Living on the west side it is very difficult to travel to different parts of the west side w/o
having to transfer downtown first. These plans look like it would solve that dilemma.”
“Living on the southeast side, mobility to city-base is a priority
as this offers many job opportunities/shopping/
entertainment/medical services.”
“Frequency is crucial! Knowing that if I miss my bus and won't have to wait more than another 10 or 15 minutes for the next
one is what will make the difference between…true widespread adoption.” “In order for San Antonio to become a
world class city…I strongly suggest that we incorporate light rail in the near and
long term plan.”
13
What We Heard
“Please provide late night service or 24/7 service as well and have
electronic info at bus stops as to when the next bus is coming.”
“Because I live downtown, I am most interested in the airport and medical center…Also we
should have light rail at least to the airport....think Portland!”
I would like to see our community connected…There are more and more
people building and buying out here and the roads are so congested.
“Express service from outlying areas to and from downtown would be
important to me.”
“Bus travel is always going to be inefficient while our development policies encourage sprawl and low
density development.”
