The one that cracks me up is on the 55, 56, 57 etc.

It did originally, but since the Dome is gone, the meaning changed…

The 5:15 AM 128 did not show up at Hill St.this morning. I had to walk to the Junction to get a “C”ine.

I thought SODO (at least originally) meant south of the Dome…?

Dayle, email it to Metro and maybe they’ll fix it. When they first started with the talking buses it was calling the West Seattle Junction “West Seattle Junior”, I’m assuming because they must’ve had “Junction” abbreviated “JN” (which wouldn’t really be Junior either, but it’s the only explanation I could think of.

Another incorrect thing that I haven’t noticed lately if it’s corrected or not: As it approached the stop that’s near the Sodo Station, it was saying “South Downtown”. Sodo means “south of downtown”, not “south downtown”.

As the RRC comes to the Alaska Junction, the Junction is the Alaska Junction. When it gets there, it’s the West Seattle Junction. As the 50 leaves the Junction for Alki, the voice says Alki Alaska Junction. As the RRC leaves 99 for downtownn, Seneca is called Senecok. What is going on?
