TRAFFIC ALERT UPDATE: RapidRide C-Line bus stalled on southbound California at Findlay

If you’re headed southbound on California SW between The Junction and Morgan Junction, be aware that RapidRide C-Line bus is blocking the lane just south of Findlay – and might be for some time longer. Ventana Construction (WSB sponsor) across the street sent the photo and tells us the bus was having audible engine trouble and is awaiting a tow. Getting around it requires center-turn-lane use.

2:08 PM: The bus is gone.

Cool. And now because they built out the sidewalk it gets to block traffic.

Oh look! It’s the one and only time you’re allowed to pass the bus in the center turn lane!

I’ve seen the 128 northbound go around a C line using the turn lane. Good stuff.

Perfect example of Slow Ride Bump out going wrong.

Now imagine if this had happened at the Morgan Junction going southbound on Fauntleroy. no ability to divert drivers around the bus in the turn lane.

Yup

Good thing it didn’t stall at Morgan & California. There isn’t a spare lane there to get around a stuck bus.

Imagine if it had happened in the middle of the intersection of Alaska and Fauntleroy. Imagine if it had happened on the entrance ramp to 99. Or the Seneca exit ramp. Etc., etc.

Anti-bus (bulb) people seizing upon a rare event to make their case.
