Another crowded commute on the 511
Posted by Gabriel Campanario

I don't know if the Interurban from Alderwood Manor to Seattle was always crowded. The 511 bus from Lynnwood to Seattle certainly is at peak hours. This morning I counted at least 20 people standing. I say bring the light rail.
The argument that buses are better than rails because they can go into the neighborhoods doesn't cut it. Why can't we have both? As it is now, you still have to drive from the neighborhoods to the park and ride locations to catch a bus.
