  • ABILENE, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) - CityLink is grappling with significant challenges in providing transportation services to the community.

    It’s a crock of shit.. I have a Class A CDL with Passenger Endorsement with Zero Tickets and a clean back Ground. OTR 3 Years No accidents. I Submitted my application and had a Interview. They called me and told me they went with someone Else. It’s 💯% their fault they are short handed. I have talked to about 9 or 10 people that has a Class A with Passenger Endorsement that had a interview and they where not chosen.

    just tell a few folks that have experience running the largest Transit system in Texas
    ( Dallas area rapid Transit ) D.A.R.T. I know for a fact that they'd love the big country life if they could maintain it, they drive the fleets and they'd love less stress, give them the opportunity to escape the rat race, they're professionals

      Again, the fact that CityLink's drivers are stressed isn't coming from nowhere. CityLink's drivers are stressed because CityLink is massively understaffed. CityLink is massively understaffed because their great drivers keep quitting. Their great drivers keep quitting because the pay rate is abysmal. THE SOLUTION IS TO SUBSTANTIALLY RAISE THEIR PAY!

    a lot of those bus drivers are narcissists honestly, they're sitting on progress that could be made in my opinion, perhaps people only have so much tolerance for it before they're just like screw it, i miss when Abilene had 3 or more bike shops too, we need zoning that does not coincide for more 'car dependency'

      Former CityLink ADA rider here. The drivers are not narcissists. They were very nice people, and in my view they were the only redeeming factor of CityLink. I'd talk to them, and they were so brutally honest about their experiences working with CityLink, and that's to their credit. The people that are sitting on progress that could be made are CityLink the company - if only the budget was better...

      ​@@charlesmichael190 there's a lot of all round things that could be improved for sure, they do make nasty comments about the salvation army all the time if you or anybody ever come back from the catclaw walmart i think at the least that should be noted, they're definitely (opinionated)

      @@incubusfamiliar I'm not familiar with this, but I don't think anybody should be crucified for stating an opinion. I've dealt with a Lyft driver who started going on about her centrist opinions, entirely unprovoked. You don't hear me whining about that.
      What did the driver specifically criticize The Salvation Army for?
