Please report again here if you see them idling.

From what I can tell- the buses continue to idle- it may only be when they are loading- or prior to and during loading. I suppose the easiest way to confirm this is when the buses are scheduled to depart from this addrerss.

The buses definately still idle. They may stop periodically, but I work very close to the spot they load and I can hear them off and on during the day.

Just to update everyone: Bolt Bus has agreed to place a "No Idling" sign by where the buses idle. This might not solve the problem entirely, but at least they are acknowledging the issue!

It is the winter, it is cold, and they are idling for much more than five minutes. I imagine this is going on all day. They should be stopped.

Yest another sign of the "tyranny of the majority." Just keep on telling us how to conduct our lives... eventually it'll be your turn too.

Smokers are basically idling everytime they light up, but you don't see any laws against them, hmmm.....

No, this has not been fixed. Seems apparent they do whatever they want to do- stop when caught- and then resume.

No- constant problem. Why no recourse or ticketing?

Hi Peg,

Thanks for writing! I called the Bolt Bus company today, and you are right...they have been fined by the city already. The driver director assured me that the next time a driver gets caught, they will face consequences. I am also sending a packet of information, including a poster that reminds drivers of the law, which they can hang in the break room.

Thanks again, and please keep on the lookout!
