    Took a 530am 120 bus today. One passenger came on without a mask. I’m giving driver a break, their jobs are hard enough already. I’m also giving the passenger a break, that person was clearly mentally ill.  Made a complaint yesterday about previous morning bus not coming. The complaint line to speak with a human opens at 8 am. They asked for screen shots of Text to Stop Arrival not working. I emailed them.

    It never ceases to amaze me how many people hurry off to drive their cars without taking a few minutes to completely clear off their windows.

    Blinddrivers. It is an infraction. Wish SPD would ticket!  My FAVORITE story is from 5 years ago. Was walking along Beach Drive and saw a Toyota Corolla headed towards me. The driver was a priest! collar and all. His windshield was COMPLETELY iced over! He had the drivers side window down and was sticking his head out the window to see where he was going!!! Hope he spent extra time in the confessional!!!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
