I used to carry the "Buy Transit Tickets on your phone" info cards to hand out to tourists and new riders when they boarded asking if they could pay with a credit card. These are no longer available. Please bring them back, @KingCountyMetro and/or @SoundTransit
17+ years of driving in rush hour traffic is fabulous training for watching this debate. Just stop... Breathe... Compose yourself and move on... Safely.
It's incredibly frustrating to have a bus of 40-80 (or more!) blocked by one person a car who will "just be a minute" ... Seriously, just stay out of the bus lane.
Public Utility Commision hearings ? (Oh, wait, no… xenetwork.org/ets/episodes/e…) So many under-covered hearings… So few people willing to subject themselves to hearing torture. Thank you…
Or bus drivers used to getting a green light because of signal priority. My bad, never expect green. Nobody injured, lesson learned. ($384, a long time ago) Ticket at will my friend.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the ad’s Message, I wonder why @seattledot is paying for safety ads on Eastside buses. These RapidRide coaches only serve the B Line, though it’s possible they may switch bases during the new Shakeup 🤞🤔
Was surprised to see this damaged @SoundTransit coach starting up in yard… Then I realized a VM worker was in the seat. Look forward to driving this coach on the 545 soon.
I certainly hope RapidRide G doesn't get stuck at multiple traffic lights for 1-2 minutes a pop like the B line does. All RapidRide lines should be regularly audited for Signal Priority improvements but that's not been my experience.

Did you see this silver Hyundai Elantra last Saturday evening? If so, call Bellevue Police (425-577-5656). Juveniles driving this vehicle allegedly & intentionally hit a bicyclist. The victim was treated & released from Overlake. But these suspects must be held accountable.
"The utility recently signed an agreement to place solar panels in eastern Oregon ..." Eastern Oregon has more sun, but it also requires long distance transmission which incurs line losses. Solar in the city delivers power directly at the distribution level. 🤔

Tourism is a curse when it is pursued as an end unto itself. At best, it is the means to an end, something to mature beyond. Places stuck as tourist destinations are extractive and exploitative of locals. Always build your city for the people you have, not the people you want.

Watched someone flying drone under / near @SEACityLight power lines where crews removed another one several years ago at cost of $35,000: seattletimes.com/seattle-news/e… Can't imagine FAA regs allow drone flights anywhere near high voltage lines w/o approval Really, really bad idea..
Translation: People wait for buses, buses don't wait for people I miss 3 minute headways... On the C Line passengers would be half a block away when I was stopped for time and they didn't even bother to run. They knew another bus would be along shortly
