Thanks John. I WILL look at the Metro Site. Sometimes, both Buses stop on
either side of Mechanic Street simultaneously.

1. I don't have anything to add; these things happen.
2. I'm not aware of any official guidelines about crossing in front or in
back of the bus after disembarking. As someone who has been riding the bus
more in the last year than I used to, I've wondered that too. My intuition
says front is probably better, after making eye contact with the bus driver
to make sure they see you, as that will probably make you more visible to
drivers from other directions as well. You might ask Metro if they have any
safety tips about this and other questions. Their website is
https://gpmetro.org/. I don't see anything immediately under the Rider
Information section <https://gpmetro.org/27/Rider-Information>.

I need to make 1 correction.
The 3 Joggers crossed Main Street EAST of the Sculpture Park and
Diagonally across Main Street towards the Big Apple Store. They were
oblivious of any moving Vehicular Traffic.

1. An hour ago on a bright and frosty Sunday, I was stopped at Spring &
Main Streets, facing Main, waiting for a green light. When I saw the Green
Light, one car heading E on Main went on thru on a Red Light at the
same time as two women and 1 man jogged across from Main Street west of the
new Sculpture Park, stopped for the driver running the Red Light, jogged
again while talking to each other and Crossing Main Street diagonally
towards the Big Apple Store and Gas Station while I being first in line on
Spring Street had a Green Light and had to stay stopped while the above Key
stone Kops movie was playing ...
2. Metro Buses: When they stop at a designated Metro Station in Downtown
Westbrook to let off Passengers : Does it make any Difference on whether
Passengers cross In FRONT of the Metro Bus or In BACK of it ? With busy
Traffic in both Directions.
Thank You,
Dennis Marrotte
