By Juan MontoyaAccording to the Brownsville Urban System (BUS), among its special projects is included one to improve bus stops and passenger travel.
The site states that "BUS has avidly worked on improving public transportation services to the City of Brownsville through various special projects and programs. Such projects include the City-Wide Transit Improvement Project, which began with the construction of the Northside Transfer Station located on Ruben M. Torres Boulevard, the creation of routes through the Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) program, and bus stop improvements and passenger travel training through the New Freedom program."
However, if you're one of the thousands of people who must rely
on BUS to do your business in Brownsville, the photos depicted here is really what awaits you.Senior citizens must stand, squat, or sit on a sidewalk for extended periods of time awaiting the bus, if it hasn't broken down the line. And entire families must bear the azotes del rey astral (the hot sun) as they await Da Ride. Surely, we must be able to do better than this and provide our city's visitors a better image of the way we serve our mass transportation clients.

I hope Brownville BUS will be embarrassed into putting some benches in sites that were photographed. Maybe they should to take those nice benches away from north Brownsville and put them in the Southmost area.
