Cecil county transit?!
New to the area, but not by far. The last 3 months Cecil transit is what I’ve had to rely on to get anywhere I need to go. A couple times a friend was able to pick up and take back after 6 busses to get to where I needed to go. This includes from MD to DE once or twice a month.
however yesterday I needed to travel 17 minutes by car from my home and back for blood work. let’s say 20 to make it even, and 20 back, plus the 10 it took for the labwork. 50 minutes. Heck even call it an hour.
I was picked up at 8am and didn’t get back until 2:28. 6.5 hours to take me 17 minutes down the road and back for lab work. Something is wrong here. Seriously wrong.
I have screenshots to prove every bit of it.
No I didn’t miss any busses or anything like that.
I did everything as I was supposed to do.
Not to mention it cost 💲 18 for 2 people (I didn’t want to go alone call me what you want lol).
For myself it’s 2.50 to be picked up from home and dropped off at Walmart super center, $2 to get picked up there and taken to peoples plaza in DE labcorp, $2 to be taken back to walmar, 2.50 back home. $9 isn’t horrible at all it’s the time it takes.
Oh and you HAVE to be done all you have to do and picked up by 1:30. Or they won’t pick you up to take you home. As where I live in Chesapeake city the on demand bus is the only one that comes out. No scheduled bus where I live.
There is almost…no there is nothing within reasonable walking distance where I’m at.
walking roads with almost no shoulder isn’t appealing to me. And I’ve done it for dollar general and never doing that again. Not everything can be door dashed etc. I digress.
Anyone else using public transit here and having issues?
There is no guarantee for any timenot be picked up. If I start work at 7 and they don’t operate that early how do I get to work? I’m so confused how to go about any of this seriously…it’s very frustrating to say the least.
I need a job asap. And I can’t even get to interviews on time. This transit system makes no sense and only see it helping the elderly. Any info or words of inspiration help. Thanks 🙏🏼-JM
