    Anyone notice the 56/57 are extremely unreliable? Even with the post-Covid reduced service, the buses frequently never show.

    Has that roadwork @26th SW been going on overnight these past couple days?Some loud noise has been disturbing our sleep and we can’t figure out what it is…

      Last night several people asked about a noise resembling the “hum” – related to shipping offloading – on which we reported a decade ago. We’ve gotten scattered reports over the years since but this was the first night of multiple reports. Attempting to follow up.

        I’ve been hearing a less annoying version of the Hum the past few hours. Happening as I write this.

Sorry, comment time is over.
