Subject: NO AUDIO 8 pm today if you press Cap Metro bus times button below

The current absence of any audio bus departure times  service at this Cap Metro bus stop in north Austin fails to address the needs of visually impaired Cap Metro bus passengers in this District 4 section of north Austin. The current official District 4 representative on the Austin City Council is Greg Casar, a resident of this section of Austin.

Photo was taken by me at 8 p.m. today (Sunday, July 25, 2021) at Stop ID 5226 at the new North Lamar Bay 2 bus stop at the "North Lamar Transit Center", a  major mass-transportation facility that offers Cap Metro bus stops for numerous bus routes in north Austin. The North Lamar Bay 2 bus stop is located a block or two west of the intersection of North Lamar Blvd. and northbound lanes for Research Blvd.

I also noticed the same "no audio" issue this evening when I pushed another Cap Metro audio button at 8:25 pm today (Sunday) at Cap Metro bus stop 2821, the northbound-traffic "Rundberg Station" bus stop along the eastern side of North Lamar Blvd. --- a block south of West Rundberg Ln. in north Austin.

Both bus stops are located fewer than five miles from the Texas Department of Public Safety state law enforcement agency state headquarters compound along North Lamar Blvd. in Austin.

Best Wishes, 

Cap Metro passenger John Kevin McMillan.
