Transportation Bus Changes: Another Chance to Comment

Posted by Erica C. Barnett on Wed, Apr 22, 2009 at 5:13 PM

The King County Council's Physical Environment Committee and Budget and Fiscal Management Committee are holding a joint hearing on the proposed changes to service in Southeast Seattle next Tuesday, April 28, in the King County Courthouse (516 Third Ave., Room 1101) at 6:30 pm. The changes (described in detail here) involve eliminating and scaling back some routes and expanding service on others to coordinate with light rail when it opens on July 18. The proposals don't address a projected shortfall of $100 million next year, which will only partly be made up by federal stimulus funding.

Note to South End: walk, bike, or Hummer to work; Metro Nazi sez, "no bus for you!"

I ride the 32 daily. I usta ride the 36, but space started to become a rare commodity. No less than 40 people stand during their A.M. commute. When they cut the also-crowded 32, what the fuck?

Next time King County Metro begs for more $$$, vote no, hell no, and fuck no!

@2:

No one's holding a gun to your head. You can see who the articles' author is. It's a simple matter of using a little common sense and not reading what you know won't interest you. Easy, huh?

Any chance the rules can be changed to allow wine consumption on buses?
