What if #Seattle just ran the City Center Connector #streetcar line down Third, maybe with a branch up to Lower Queen Anne/Uptown? Then the #RapidRide D Line could skip Belltown and LQA entirely to improve its speed and timetable reliability. Maybe even run the streetcar in center lanes shared with buses since it's a #transit corridor already. :3c
(Yes, I know about the trolley wire issue. I'm sure something could be figured out.)
I’m not even touching on all the fun stuff we did at various stops along the way! A full day. And I treasure my #KCMetro and #SoundTransit swag. 
We got on and off the G Line a few more times. We happened across a block party celebrating the G Line RapidRide expansion with live music and doughnuts and swag. So much swag! I got a Boop the Orca tchotchke. Another party member donated to the Transit Riders Union and got a sweet tee shirt.
From there, Andrew led us to the first G Line RapidRide stop, which I want to say is on 1st Avenue? We rode it to the downtown branch of the #Seattle public library, one of my very favorite buildings. We wandered the library a little before catching the G Line again for further adventures.
“Epic” got tossed around indiscriminately for so long I fear it’s lost all meaning, but I can think of no better word to describe today’s #Seattle adventure, instigated by my most indefatigable transit maniac friend Andrew. He gathered a group of like-minded enthusiasts to celebrate the opening of King County Metro’s #RapidRide G Line, and it ruled.
A Seattle bus rider posted a video to TikTok tonight of an out of control SPD officer. The bus driver honked at a cop who changed lanes dangerously close to the bus.
The cop pulled over the bus and threatened to arrest the bus driver.
Seattle's finest at work

Transit + kitty day: I took my 3 year old cat Foggy on @kingcountymetro to get to our veterinarian for his annual visit & back to Beacon Hill. Foggy cried during some of it (he hates being in the cat carrier), but our vet said he’s healthy, & taking RapidRide H is awesome with its bus lanes! Took routes 36 & H to the vet, H & 60 back

Someone explain to me how #SoundTransit 's Stride #BRT is not simply another false promise #RapidRide? #seattle #transit #urbanist
