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. www.miamidade.gov/global/trans...

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

Thanks, @seattledot.bsky.social for the Boop at the U District Chow Down and Street Party.

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

Week without driving continues! How does #transit build community? King County Metro Route 106 shows how. youtube.com/shorts/Igirq...

What is going on here? As a very frequent 2 user this is ridiculous. One single business owner's ridiculous opinions is going to impact my commute everyday. @councilmember-amr.bsky.social @seattledot.bsky.social

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

Happy Week Without Driving! King County Metro Route 45, is it the best crosstown route? Let's ride it and find out. #transit

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

1 Line to Federal Way?! Looks like I'm going until they kick me off!

I love this idea! @sound-transit.bsky.social , What do you think? Would look mighty fine in the spacious Westlake Station.

In my public television special “The Story of Fascism in Europe” (www.ricksteves.com/fascism), we learn from Europeans whose families lived through fascism that a strong democracy requires vigilant and engaged citizens. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and freedom isn’t guaranteed.

My latest obsession is transit centers. Redmond, you have a gem of one.

Happy birthday @kingcountymetro.bsky.social! www.historylink.org/File/1998

Such great views on the @sound-transit.bsky.social 2 Line. Looking forward to even more (and better) views soon!

1 year of RapidRide G! "From Capitol Hill to the Central District to Madison Valley, riders have watched the G Line grow into a fast, reliable and essential piece of Seattle’s transportation puzzle." kingcountymetro.blog/2025/09/12/g...

Today, I am out to ride the 36 to Othello Station. An every 10 minute frequency is amazing!

I'm looking forward to seeing how this works out. Focusing on more service on nights and weekends, new limited stop service, line consolidation, all cost-nuetral. Sounds promising, especially given the State it is located in.

This morning, I'm out to ride King County Metro Route 60. It's a crosstown route from Capitol Hill to Westwood Village. The route connects residential neighborhoods with various other transit connections like Link Light Rail and the Seattle Streetcar, all while not connecting through Downtown.

Interesting segment on Akron Metro. I should look into the overhaul. 24% increase in ridership seems phenomenal. CEO of Akron Metro: "If we aren't using our product, why should anyone else ride it?"

The people yearn to take the rails!

It's really rad that Spokane Transit Authority starts its Double Decker Bus service later this month!

A world first: trains under power are now running across the I-90 floating bridge ⚡ Last night marked a big milestone for the 2 Line’s Crosslake Connection - hear more from Sound Transit CEO Dow Constantine on this historic evening for transit and the entire Central Puget Sound!

The first East Link train under its own power on the floating bridge!

Today, we are riding King County Metro Route 3. I'm beginning in the east end in the beautiful, if bit a tad small, node of density, known as Madrona. It will head downtown via Cherry before making a loop in western Capitol Hill. It's actually my first time ever on this route.

I love riding the bus so much.

Good map to show my personal view that the only US metro areas pursuing serious urbanization recently has been Seattle—besides the already-super-dense NYC MSA, it's the only one that's significantly densified over the last 20 years. DC, Boston, and Portland can get honorary mentions though

I have decided to start a project. I will be riding the entirety of every King County Metro bus line. No ETA on completion, but today, I am starting with Route 1. I'll be starting at 5th and Jackson riding to Queen Anne, 10th and Armour.

Anecdotally, I have noticed having more fellow passengers on my King County Metro rides. Love to see it!

The Seattle Waterfront is popping today!

I'm not sure who is responsible for this new sandwich board sign, but I LIKE it. More of this, please.

It's foaming time! #amtrak

Well, I sure didn't realize how beautiful the State Capitol Grounds are before today.

It's a mother-truckin' Moon Tree!

It is always a good day when I'm able to catch the Sounder.

Do we think Terminal 2 will get its own light rail stop?

Westwood Village: a surprising amount of transit connections. The stops are pretty far apart from each other, though. Not a bad place to catch the scenic, if not indirect, route to Capitol Hill via KCM Rt. 60.

Does anyone know why this "under concstruction" stop hasn't opened or why @kingcountymetro.bsky.social Route 2 is still on a reroute? The 12th and Madison intersection seemingly looks pretty done.

Do you live in Ravenna or Roosevelt? Sign on to this letter opposing comprehensive plan amendment #40, which shrinks the Ravenna neighborhood center. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Good day to ride some soon to be retired #transit. Starting with KCM Rt. 246 Clyde Hill. It runs a strange route starting from Eastgate P&R to Factoria, Bellevue TC, Clyde Hill, then back to Bellvue TC. Yes, I am the only one on here so far.

We are beyond disappointed in SDOT's proposals here. Their plan of "exploring future options like dedicated bus lanes once key congestion issues are addressed" is completely nonsensical. You can't just wave a magic wand and get rid of the congestion on Denny. Bus lanes ARE the solution.

Such a proud moment to be a Washingtonian! More of our fantastic communities connected together.

KCM: G Line, 48. ST: 1 Line, 2 Line, 512, 535, 542. ET: 4, 8. CT: Swift Green Line. What a great day of #transit riding around Puget Sound!

#SEPTA cuts be like.

Sound Transit has the best bus foamer seats around. It's the only thing that can make I-5 look good.

Pierce Transit Stream Community Line is such a wacky service. 20ish trips a day, commuting hours only, with no time points. You fly down Pacific in the reverse commute direction. I hope the area develops to foster all-day true BRT on this corridor.

Great day for a public transit trek around Tacoma. The city looks amazing. Thanks for the fun rides, @piercetransit.bsky.social!

Downtown Redmond is becoming a true gem of the Puget Sound region. Are there plans to make the walk/ride between the Downtown Redmond Link station with the Redmond Transit Center better?

I've assumed that the Line 2 would be faster than the Rapidride B line between Downtown Redmond and Downtown Bellevue. Today, I put that assumption to the test.
