    Carls Ct Ellicott City, MD, 21043, USA - Ellicott City
    RTA 405 bus has a stop at the intersection of Carls CT and Walmart back road (channeling the traffic from the Walmart parking lot). When exiting our community, that Walmart traffic (on the right side) could not be seen because it is blocked by the bus, making this intersection dangerous. We do not have an alternate exit route, so every day is a gamble. Please, return this bus stop where it used to-in front of Walmart so it will be better used (nowadays, very few people use it) and our health and lives will be better protected.

    Eyesore unused electrical framework at the Twin Rivers/Trumpeter/Interfaith bus stop. It is bent up, ugly, and apparently not in use Can it please be removed?

    P.S. As someone else previously reported, the digital clock inside the shelter is far from correct.

    5642-5644 Harpers Farm Rd Columbia, MD, 21044, USA - Columbia
    Vehicles going around RTA buses at the Gloucester Road bus stop often enter into Northbound traffic lanes on Harper's Farm road heading towards the village center (from Twin Rivers.) This makes it very unsafe to turn left onto Gloucester road, or left from Gloucester into Harper's Farm Road when a bus is stopped at the stop near Gloucester road. There is a bus shelter already on Harper's Farm at Eliot's Oak; could the bus stop at Gloucester be removed? They are very close to one another, and the one at Eliot's Oak is a full shelter wth a bench and cover, not just a stop.

    So many bus stops in Howard County have nothing more that a sign sitting in the grass next to the road. Many don't even have an adjacent sidewalk. I can't count the number of times I've seen elderly people or moms with kids standing in the grass, in the rain and snow waiting for the bus.

    As one of the richest counties in the Country I think we can afford a generous concrete pad and preferably a shelter at every stop. Many people don't have a choice but more people would use transit if it was safe, dry and convenient.
