It’s difficult to find words to express how our unit is feeling right now, but we’ll take a stab at it: shocked, disappointed, angry. @CascadePBSNews’ choice to eliminate long-form written reporting is a massive loss for our community in a critical moment. https://t.co/852nQR1IP1

Yim was memorialized as the sort of bus driver who always waited to make sure kids got a ride to school or helped elderly passengers. Yim was killed after a confrontation with a passenger on Dec. 18 while driving his route through the U District.
