But yes, the payment policies are infinitely better. Score one for a Seattle agency taking only 40 years to learn to do what works best everywhere else in the world.

I know it's only been two work days so far, but drivers need to start educating the idiots who still try to exit out the front. Every single stop for me so far has had to deal with that.

Metro head Kevin Desmond, like everyone else making these decisions for Metro, doesn't use the bus and doesn't really give a shit how the decline of his bus system adversely affects any of us.

If you live downtown on 1st, you're not more than a couple of blocks from one or all of these routes. Just make the walk to them; I'll think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the improvement.

The 12 no longer runs?

So you'd have to come over from 3rd or even further east, which means crossing train tracks. This is what many buses do now, and when there's a train, they go practically down to Michigan to go around it. Or they just sit there. Both options suck.

@24 - My distant memory tells me there was another on-ramp to the bridge from Spokane St. east of the tracks. 4th? Now that would be useful for buses.

Bus system is horrible and more than 3,000 people from work uses it everyday to go to Harborview and other hospitals uphill.
City of Seattle should add a rapid line to hospitals on peek hours.
The system nowadays takes longer than a bus that comes from Federa Way.

@7 - You obviously never took any of the buses through SODO to West Seattle when they tore down the 1st Ave onramp to the Spokane viaduct. Going on the low bridge added at least 15-30 minutes to a bus ride.
