The Metro Bus service is terrible. Prices go up nearly ever two years, while the buses continue to arrive late, causing many people many problems in life. There are hardly any cost free parking, or time free parking, which is not what we need. The state does not need to suck our dollars by forcing us to pay by either Public Transportation or charged parking.

I don't enjoy stepping outside and inhaling the large amount of fumes and other air pollution. I'm not sure myself on how this can be improved, but it is something to be looked into by Public Services. There are no nearby wildlife/national parks. There are a few trails to jog or bike on, but not much, and they are very dense. I'd like to see more outdoor exercise structures as they have in California and Miami, that include the same bars used in playground structures but specifically designed for exercise.
