As always, all opinions are my own.
Spread this around. Make sure people know that this is going to happen and put pressure on WTA from across the transportation community to come to the negotiating table and allow the universities to have bus passes and to scrap the fare change. For more information, please visit savewta.org (3/3)
Save The WTA
WTA plans to double fares and end WWU’s student bus pass. Tell local leaders: no fare hike.

Instead, the people who would have gotten free rides will instead need to pay like anyone else. Of course, at the same time, the fares are increasing from $1 to $2. Needless to say, that will tank ridership to an unholy degree. Although we are united locally against this, I still need help. (2/3)

the thruways cost $19, but they come in later and like to get stuck in traffic, so they were a no-go

the trains to BEL run to Vancouver, BC, so there’s also issues related to that as well (which are too many to get into in one BlueSky reply)

left my apartment in Bellingham at 6:11, arrived in Seattle at 9:34. quite a good showing, if I do say so myself. now to go to the doctor’s office…

Got a decker on the 510 to Seattle. Fun fact: until earlier this year, this was only possible if the 90X was early enough AND if the 510 was late enough due to a NEGATIVE ONE minute connection. Since then, they added this trip to cater for those on the first southbound 80X/90X connection of the day.

Of course, as soon as we pull from Skagit Station, we get met with a highballing unit coal train. At least it has foreign power?

Because Skagit Transit is one of Those Agencies, there’s mixed messaging about the bus leaving Skagit Station 5 or 10 mins after the 80X arrives, the latter of which would give me time to dash to the 7/11 across the street. I decided against it, much to the chagrin of my stomach.

as someone born and raised there, agreed

update: they also sank it in the map selection screen. maybe this is how they got the game to work in seattle.

that plus wanting to win votes among UW alumni because of the "I'm one of us!" mentality. also speaking as a husky fan bruce was carried by Michael Jackson (not that one) when he was at Washington before his senior year
