I'm just a boy, standing up to exit the bus, thanking the driver.

Does this mean I'm supposed to kiss the bus driver when they drop me off? I'm not sure how much they would like that.

Metro Express Bus Rapid Transit Service Metro Express, Miami-Dade County’s first-ever all-electric Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service, launches in South Dade on Oct. 27, 2025. This state-of-the-art system represents a major leap forward for pu...

DART, Kansas City Streetcar, and Skyline are getting most of the spotlight this past week but, I'm excited about the new Metro Express BRT in Miami Dade. More agencies should use BRT as a stepping stone to rail conversion.

We're upgrading bus service on Tualatin Valley Highway between Beaverton and Forest Grove to TriMet FX–Frequent Express.

Reading this on the G right now. The ride is so quick I almost didn't have time to finish it!

Seems that Sabrina needs to take a look at her business model. There are an ever growing number of residents using the G, maybe entice them with good food at reasonable prices?

It's going to be an upgrade to the 7. It's one of if not the busiest route in the region. It will head down Rainer, connecting to the core of the density, while the Link uses MLK to head south. It will be a great last mile connection to other services.

Thanks for the speedy response. Extremely sad to hear about the R. The route should have been built yesterday.

Happy Friday of Week Without Driving. In today's short, I'm riding one of @kingcountymetro.bsky.social's newest routes, the 203.

What I love most about our home teams is that they show the strengths of the transit system to a whole new audience.

Yes! Something late night/early morning workers, airport travellers, night owls, and early birds can all celebrate!

I'm personally happy to hear they are keeping the 545. Sometimes, it's nice to take a trip in a loop.

Walmart to close King County store by end of October Walmart announced it is closing one of its stores located in King County.

A prime location steps from a new regional light rail station? Seems primed for a large mixed-use development.

King County Metro Route 45, is it the best crosstown route? Let's ride it and find out. #transit

What a feat that must have been. Now, the city doesn't even have the ambition to connect our two streetcar lines.

Does King County Metro Route 28x really deserve the "express" moniker?

As a fun project, I'm trying to ride every King County Metro route. I rode the 65 the other day. Wedgwood deserves more density like this with its access to such a great public transit line.

This is rather upsetting. Frequent service is a vital community resource that benefits everyone, including non-users. Let's fund our transit services!

DART route 635 at its terminus, Angle Lake Station.

DART route 635 at its terminus, Angle Lake Station.

A man can dream, but the train did indeed just end at Angle Lake. Only a few more months.

Good excuse to ride the 635 to get a few marina views.
