This is the exact sort of amenity we want to see through the entire county to help us provide that safe, welcoming, and reliable transit service for all,” said Michelle Allison, the General Manager of King County Metro.
Planners said they eventually want a bus system where riders don’t need to check the schedule and will just know that a bus will be coming every 5 to 15 minutes.
I've spent months in Berlin. The trains usually come every 5 mins during the day, and the main bus lines about every 10 minutes. I never really worked at scheduling when to hit a train on time unless I was either way late at night or if I was under serious scheduling pressure myself.
Real transit infrastructure is wonderful to live with. Fuck having a car, I'm 100% on board with never having to drive again.
I dream of that. But in reality I know that if I miss a bus or might be 30-60 mins til another comes.
Yeah nice. I think that's a good call on that route
