Full Bus!

This might just be the fullest bus ever. According to the bus driver, evidently the ‘leader’ bus broke down and this bus had to pick up the slack from the missed route. it was more than standing room only!
These folks ended up standing in front of the yellow line because the bus was so full. The bus driver finally had to cut folks off from trying to get on and leave some behind for the 8:39 bus (5 minutes later, presumably) because literally the entire standing-room part of the bus was out of space!
In good transit news, however, today was a great day for a fast commute! I ended up sprinting for both of my buses, so there was no time spent waiting. Plus, I didn’t get stuck at lots of traffic lights, etc (ie – the 5 minute Montlake light).
Total transit time was just about 45 minutes, door-to-door… a new record!
It breaks down about like:
- 8:17 – Run to catch the 8:16 48-bus in front of my building.
- 8:34 – Disembark the 48 bus at montlake, nearly trip over myself getting down the stairs to the SR-520 access to make the ST545 bus that had just pulled up.
- 8:52 – Get off the bus at Overlake TC and walk to my office
- 9:01 – Arrive at my office.
