Today is my 5th day riding VIA, and honestly it's been good.... just good. Good to see exactly where my tax dollars are going in the city of San Antonio. The roads, the bus stops, the technology, new routes, places it will take you while always keeping you connected to the rest of the world. VIA goes EVERYWHERE in SA.
As for why I'm rating it low, see my complaint to them below:
Hi. This is my 2nd day riding the VIA. The first day I remember putting too many coins in and the matching gave money back in another slot. I paid $4.10 for myself and child on 2-day passes. Today, I was just on the 543 route, entering before Wurzbach and Fredericksburg Rd, and I put in $4 and asked the driver why the machine did not show I only owe $.10, she shrugged and acted like she did not know anything. I think I put $2 more in and asked her for my change. She told me I can complain to whoever I want but that machine does not give change. Then she told me I need to sit down because we are about to move.
I would like you to review your camera to see how much money I put in the machine. If $6, then give me back my $1.90, and if $1, then give me my $.90. Or give bus fare in some way or form.
It may seem silly, but whether it's $.90 or $90, I always want my change. read more
