The first 57 was a no show. No alert. And no response from metro where it is.

Just saw a tweet that it’s 30 minutes late. Which is basically the next bus. Which is a no show metro. Useless.

The #57 that leaves Admiral &a California is running over 30 minutes late. Just got the notice 14 minutes after it should have been here.

Just for context’s sake, the same type of alert was sent about a route in another area

No consolation of course. And Route 121 from Burien first got an advance warning:

and just now a never-mind

Those and the 57 belated “alert” are it for Metro alerts so far this morning.

And just now, while sitting on the second 57, the late first bus just passed us on Admiral at the stop before California.

Problem with buses. First time for everything;) Seriously though it’s high time things improved. They’ve had problems for at least 2 years that I have been following reports on wsb. Glad I don’t have to rely on the bus.

Sorry, comment time is over.
