This is poor planning by the bus company, and passengers should call them to task. It should be fixable.
Not easily fixable. The problem is that, as I said, both locations were at the end of the bus route. To connect the two, you had to ride all the way into the Transit Center in downtown. So it was approaching an hour's ride each way. And with about a 15-20 minute wait between rides, you've burned two hours. They have made changes. The route that terminated by where I worked was rerouted so it now terminates by a new shopping center. Problem solved.
