That's Twice, Metro!

But this time it was 20 degrees. And the four of us had already been waiting for 10 minutes when you sped by— and the next #36 was still another 15 minutes behind. When you passed us by last week, it was a balmy 42.
Here's some big-city news for you, Metro. Drivers don't get to decide which stops they randomly bypass— and a few people standing up does not constitute a full bus. In fact, a bus isn't full, particularly when it's 20 degrees outside, until you're pressing up against your neighbor like kids at a junior high dance (thanks Seely).
I know Seattle loves its busses, but I for one am counting the days (196) until I can walk a few extra blocks and hop on a more civilized form of transport. Viva light rail!
My toes are still frozen.

Don't just complain on your blog. Write an official complaint to Metro, with details regarding the bus route, stop location, time, as well as bus unit # if you have it. There are even forms online so you don't need to travel to the King Street Center Metro office to make the complaint.
