Props to Metro
Good work Metro Transit! Yesterday (Friday) was a great day for me, as a transit rider. Not sure what were the variables in my favor, but it all just worked out in both directions:
- Caught the 8:31am 48 bus, which rocked up 23rd like no tomorrow and dropped me at Montlake in about 11 minutes.
- Ambled my way down the stairs to the freeway station and waited about 2 minutes until the 545 bus arrived. Plenty of seats, and then THIS bus rocked across 520 and dropped me at Overlake in only about 12 minutes, also a personal best.
- Brisk walk to my building, and I was in my office by 9:03am. I couldn’t have gotten there much faster driving!
- Coming home was just as good… walked over to Overlake and waited only about 10 seconds to get onto a nearly empty 545 bus (i had to walk-jog when I saw the bus coming). Got me to montlake in about 18 minutes, a respectable travel time.
- Transfered at Montlake and waited about 3 minutes for my 48 bus. Which dropped me at home about 15 minutes later.
Great way to end a Friday!
