Been in Seattle, WA for 19 years. Transit Operator for a quite a bit less than that. I barely speak for myself, I definitely don't speak for my employer.
Thank you.

We likely are working. Getting to or from the bus weβre driving.

Hey @sound-transit.bsky.social if anyone ever accuses you of being incompetent. Itβs because of shit like this.
This sign has been out at Stadium station since at least yesterday, even though itβs expired.
Reasons #17,654β17,661 that I love riding transit: I can chill/vibe and not have to focus on driving safely, I don't have to deal with asshole drivers, I can people-watch and city-watch, I can read, I can close my eyes.

"I wonder how many times nurses see this, think someone is agitated, and drug them."
Since I had to look it up, from: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahada
The Shahada (Arabic: Ψ§ΩΨ΄ΩΩΩΩΨ§Ψ―ΩΨ©Ω aΕ‘-Ε‘ahΔdatu; Arabic pronunciation: [aΚΚahaΛdatΚ], 'the testimony'),also transliterated as Shahadah, is an Islamic oath and creed, and one of the Five Pillars of Islam and part of the Adhan.
Seattleites love their summers, but itβs a little more complicated for parents. What if we had universal summer care for all children in Seattle? This isnβt a pie in the sky idea. We can make Seattle a great place for working families.
