Riding the bus when it's on snow route is always an experience. Not only are the schedules messed up but you get a lot of people who have never taken the bus before so they have no idea what's going on!!
Case in point - the Highlands snow route is a shuttle that takes you down to the Transit Center in issaquah and from there you have to find another bus to get you to Seattle. New riders don't understand this and they get left at the TC and have no idea what they're suppose to do. The shuttle driver this morning was so cranky and mean - he was yelling at people to just get on the bus and not explaining what was going on. I felt so bad for some of the people - I helped out though when we got to the TC and explained which busses to take to a group of people.
The other issue is that the 554 bus is always crowded and now they need to take on all of the 218 riders - no extra busses though so it is extremely crowded and at the TC nobody stands in line - they all just start pushing to get on the bus!!
The 554 bus driver is really nice and has been taking the time to answer people's questions. So now I am on the last leg of my trip to work - only been an hour so far!! Hopefully I get to work before lunch!! See - all of the busses have chains on so they can only go 30 mph!!
