Seattle already has a pretty expansive bus network, including express busses and a combined light-rail/bus tunnel. And yet... the roads are still gridlocked.

- bkjelden 11y agoSo, why aren't more people taking the bus? Is service too infrequent? Is the network too small (not enough stops)? Is it over-capacity - more buses needed? Is the city just growing too fast for transit to keep up? Has there been any analysis on why it isn't helping?
- throwaway13337 11y agoSeattle's bus system sucks - and it's not just gridlock. There aren't enough running to make it make sense. This is probably because there aren't enough people actively taking the bus... because there aren't enough running. It would be ideal if they raised the gas tax significantly and funneled the money into a better bus system. Get cars off the street and add more buses. Who's gonna vote for that, though?
