TRANSIT

Buses are on regular schedules today – except for the rerouting in RapidRide H Line work zones. Watch @kcmetrobus for word of canceled trips. Reminder – the fall “service change” is this Saturday; we previewed the West Seattle changes earlier this month.

For ferries and water taxis, regular schedule today. Doc Maynard is back on the WSWT run. Watch @wsferries for ferry updates.

For the South Park Bridge (map), here’s the nearest camera:

Are draw/swing bridges opening for boats or barges? The @SDOTBridges Twitter feed will tell you. (1st Ave. South Bridge openings also are tweeted on @wsdot_traffic.)

    Another day another rush hour boat blocking low bridge traffic. If the bus had been on time we would have made it across but it started out 5+ minutes late and just got later as we went. I can’t even imagine how early I am going to have to start leaving for work once things start getting back to normal with people returning to offices. I hope someone is working on a plan for the traffic that has been steadily increasing lately.

    Well at least you aren’t an elementary school age student whose yellow school bus never came! 

Sorry, comment time is over.
