Hey, check it out! #ORCA is on #BlueSky.
I just bleeted about getting my Subsidized Annual Pass updated a few days ago, and what an easy process it was.
I LOVE #publictranspo in the #PNW, and I will happily show some appreciation to operators today ๐ค
#Seattle #Bellevue #transit
Thereโs not a bus in the city that isnโt running fucked up right now ๐
#Seattle #publictranspo #kcmetro #soundtransit
I heard 4, maybe even 5, distinct languages (including my own) #eavesdropping on the #SoundTransit 554 from #Bellevue into #Seattle, and I love that ๐ค
It feels so urbane and cosmopolitan, and itโs UNTHINKABLE to me that some people might hate this.
#publictranspo #publictransit #PNW #MAGA #bus
Someone is performatively listening to meandering, aimless, trumpet-noodling #jazz on way-too-loud headphones on the #bus, and this dude should be careful, bc thereโs not a jury in #WA or anywhere outside of #NewOrleans that would convict anyone for just handling thisโฆ ๐
#PNW #music #publictranspo
I ran into #Philly again at a #soundtransit #bus stop about a 1/4-mile away, & he bummed another #cigarette, but said he had to quit to get clean for his job, & I'm not 100% sure he remembers earlier, when he just didn't bother or care ๐ณ
Odd characters you meet riding #publictranspo
#Bellevue #PNW
He's headed to (you guessed it): #Renton
#WA #PNW #Seattle #publictranspo #publictransit
I frankly appreciate that I run into all kinds of people on the #bus, including degenerate scumbags like this loudmouth, wife-beating piece of shit.
Better than flat-out not knowing he's out there, I reckon ๐ค
Do you ever get a good squiz at an upside-down B&W American Flag patch on tactical, black backpack of the black-trenchcoat-ed white guy boarding #kcmetro #bus in front of you, & think, "I sure hope this guy & I aren't about to be on the #news?" ๐ค
I do ๐
#PNW #Seattle #publictranspo #Bellevue #lol
Do you ever get super bitter re: what you perceive as poor performance by a #bus driver?
To wit, #soundtransit 554 to #Seattle driver (& I usually have great experiences on ST) is slamming on both brakes & accelerator, & I'm in sideways-facing seats, so I'm getting hurled...
#publictranspo #PNW
There's a very cute lady on the #bus with me, and while I don't know at all what (if anything) she thinks of me, she pretty clearly doesn't think I'M very cute, and that's a bummer.
But I get it! #Ginger isn't everyone's cup of tea ๐ฉโ๐ฆฐ

Kirk Hovenkotter โ Delightful Nerd ๐ค Nfn, I think the same is true of me ๐โโ๏ธ
I saw @kirkhovenkotter.com on @kiro7seattle.bsky.social telling #SoundTransit to, โbuild the damn train!โ and I said to myself, โwhat a delightful nerd!โ (which is also roughly what I think of myself, too) ๐

And heโs on #BlueSky! ๐ค

A softer line:
โN*gga, please donโt put your hands on this poor, little black boy,โ sotto voce.
Iโm not, like, unsympathetic to his plight; heโs just picked the worst way & time and situation possible to make his case to me ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

Two locals just rolled their eyes at me and stormed past as I filmed the #Seattle #Monorail.
Itโs still cool to me! I havenโt even been here a year; Iโm still basically a #tourist! ๐
Also, I mostly live in #Bellevue, so itโs still kinda exciting to come to #downtownSeattle ๐คฉ
#pnw #publictranspo
If I had a dollar for every time Iโd gotten on the โrightโ #bus going the precise wrong way, I could just buy a #car, and itโd be a fuckin nice one, too ๐
#publictranspo
Oh hey!!
Since Iโm #trans, and I use/support #PublicTransit, Iโm a:

Not only did I GET the glass-front, double-decker top seat on the @sound-transit.bsky.social 535 to #Lynnwoodโฆ

Fun #ad seen on a #kcmetro #bus in #renton for Mullvad #VPN.
โWe have no idea who our customers are. Maybe they all live in #Seattle. Well, then, this ad was a waste.โ

I enjoyed that. And their logo appears to be an adorable mole in a minerโs hat ๐คฃ

Huh! I go EVERYWHERE on #kingcountymetro and #soundtransit using my #ORCA subsidized annual pass.
I think *I* might be a #transit stansit ๐ค

I don't know about you, but I'd rather be riding on planet saving #publictranspo than in a car
remember..... nothing feels as good as being car free feels #publictranspo ๐๐๐
