GPS can’t help me get to the bus stop

Regarding the letter, “Will GPS show how route made longer?”: I, too, am appalled that Community Transit is spending big bucks on a GPS system that will tell me the bus I take from Mill Creek to Edmonds Community College no longer serves my neighborhood and requires me to walk for 30 minutes to get to the closest stop. Do administrators and members of the Community Transit board ever ride the buses and see the devastating impact this year’s changes have had, especially on the lives of older passengers? Community Transit claims it is providing robust service on major corridors. How are we supposed to get to those major corridors when the buses no longer come to our neighborhoods?
