First Avenue streetcar: Expand free bus program

Concerning The Seattle Occasions editorial board’s editorial on the First Avenue streetcar, I completely agree [“Don’t waste public funds on First Avenue streetcar fantasy,” Aug. 11, Opinion].

The price of a fixed-route streetcar is completely pointless. The free vacationer buses we had earlier than the pandemic and at the moment are operating once more are an effective way to journey round Seattle. That program ought to be expanded and will run longer into the 12 months. As a resident, I’ve loved the rides myself and loved chatting with vacationers. This system ought to be promoted extra closely.

Small buses that may be rerouted as obligatory make way more sense all the best way round.
