What Happens Next?

Here at GBT we take customer complaints seriously. An internal team meets weekly to review any complaints filed. In some cases, we may need to review video and audio surveillance from buses or the bus station. We may also contact the person who filed the complaint to get more information.

Once the complaint is reviewed it is categorized, as follows:

A complaint that needs action

  • Service disruption due to external circumstance (extreme weather, unanticipated road closure, etc.)
  • Mechanical failure
  • A late bus

A need for more or better bus service

  • More frequent bus service needed
  • The bus needs to run earlier or later
  • The bus doesn’t go where people need it

After we categorize the type of complaint, we contact the person who filed the complaint to let them know the outcome.

All complaints are databased so that we can utilize the information to help us understand and fix recurring problems and inform our training programs.

The majority of the feedback we receive leads us to make changes to improve service.
