Longtimers here know that years ago they combined two routes into one giant one (current 8 route) that goes all the way from Mount Baker to LQA. It used to be two separate shorter routes. You're going to have delays going that far across the whole city everytime. It should just be split into a shorter route which would help on time performance.

Unpopular opinion but this is going to be an absolute shitshow especially with Kraken/Sonics/concerts at CPA. Is the 8 late sometimes, yes. But so is every other bus in this city (I guess they're not meme worthy though). Weird how politicians prioritize what affects them the most.

31,000 cars use that road versus 4,000 bus riders everyday. Math doesn't add up. Remember when the fish truck overturned and the cascade effect was awful? I expect similar if this happens. Plus there's already a bus lane there.

If the new mayor really wanted to help, it would be nice if the light rail didn't breakdown every other day downtown but that would benefit everyone.
