Fix the L8

Trying to make @KingCountyMetro Route 8 not the worst in Seattle!

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

Send a letter to city and county councils telling them to prioritize improving the route with the worst reliability and tons of riders! https://t.co/bgJ0hLF1Sd

You can see the extent of the crash here https://t.co/B5OyL0SBkR

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

Almost TWO YEARS after a driver veered off the road and destroyed a bus shelter, fully grown tree, and concrete seating, the shelter has been replaced.

We’ve been begging for improvements here since the crash. Thank you @seattledot @KingCountyMetro for coming through!

Finally a new bus shelter at Denny & Stewart!! Thank you @KingCountyMetro

Is there a way to know how many citations the Do-not-block-the-intersection cameras on Stewart St @ Denny Way in Seattle issue?

Standing here for (a very late) @FixTheL8 Bus 8 and literally every minute (even an SDOT car...!)

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

@mitamasan We wish it were permanent!

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

Our planet is burning, our city growing, and our traffic worsening. If our city can’t make the bus faster than juggling or jumping rope, what exactly are we doing to solve these crises?

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

We are beyond disappointed in SDOT's proposals here. The plan of "exploring future options like dedicated bus lanes once key congestion issues are addressed" is completely nonsensical.

Bus lanes ARE the solution to congestion

[Seattle Department of Transportation @seattledot]

Concerned about Route 8 reliability? We are too. Here’s an update on our near-term approach to making this high-ridership bus route more reliable: https://t.co/Fu6oAkDCnt

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

SDOTs assumption that drivers to Capitol Hill will sit in traffic for 34 mins instead of taking a faster bus is obviously wrong and a dangerous assumption keeping a situation at odds with virtually every goal that voters, mayors, city councils and SDOT itself has set for the city

What’s faster: King County Metro’s ‘Late 8’ bus or a conga line?

Answer: the conga line!

"In the meantime for the sake of transparency to transit riders, King County Metro says it will be officially renaming Route 8 to Route ∞."

Join us next Thursday, July 10th at 5 PM @ Denny / Dexter to race Route 8! It’s easy to outwalk the L8, but can we still beat it while doing the cha-cha slide, hopscotching, or in a conga line? Join one of our race activities or bring your own idea you can do faster than the bus!

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

Metro has been training for our race tomorrow but just because they paint the bus red doesn’t make it fast!

@SchuldtDave The real question is which bus in the 2:30 bunch of them

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

Anyone cute guys ride the 8 in the afternoon? https://t.co/0MKVZpXNnv

[Fix the L8 @FixTheL8]

The bus has taken 10 minutes to go two blocks and uses the left lane because the right lane is basically a freeway on ramp.

Oh and there’s a while but full of people waiting and the bus is already full
