(they are not in Seattle, they're always either parked in or driven in by cars, and none are consistently respected enough to speed up the buses)

Are peak-hour bus lanes real, anywhere?

Or are they universally ignored by motorists at all times of day?

Curious if anyone has examples where they're respected...

One of those things that we don’t talk enough about is that big sports games mess up traffic for a huge swath of the roads nearby, inconveniencing even those who had nothing to do with the game.

Hey @sound-transit.bsky.social if anyone ever accuses you of being incompetent. It’s because of shit like this.

This sign has been out at Stadium station since at least yesterday, even though it’s expired.

Reasons #17,654–17,661 that I love riding transit: I can chill/vibe and not have to focus on driving safely, I don't have to deal with asshole drivers, I can people-watch and city-watch, I can read, I can close my eyes.

Or this one: a monolingual Anglophone nurse hears a patient speaking unintelligibly, assume it's delirium, until an L2 English speaking nurse recognises the language. The dying person isn't babbling; they've reverted to a mother tongue at the end of life.

Why I do what I do: met a former palliative care nurse & was describing how devout Muslims can hold up a single finger to represent the Shahadah if they're unable to speak. She'd never heard of this.

"I wonder how many times nurses see this, think someone is agitated, and drug them."

Seattleites love their summers, but it’s a little more complicated for parents. What if we had universal summer care for all children in Seattle? This isn’t a pie in the sky idea. We can make Seattle a great place for working families.

Again:Journalists are not stenographers. We are to get information, report and verify the facts, and then report the reality not the talking point. What Trump is doing in DC and threatening in cities is NOT a crime crack down because he says it is. Don’t regurgitate. Report the truth not propaganda.

Seriously WTH SeattlePD, your officers were directing normal vehicles into the bus lane after a concert, when they’re most important to get bused through on a timely basis.
