This tip might help those that are bus commuters and have access to the internet, via phone or desktop. UW has a website called http://mybus.org that allows you to see the status of your bus with respect to one of the major bus stops. For instance for buses at California and Fauntleroy go to this link http://mybus.org/metrokc/avl.jsp?id=779
California and Alaska go to http://mybus.org/metrokc/avl.jsp?id=10028
california and Admiral go to
http://mybus.org/metrokc/avl.jsp?id=6003
35 and Avalon go to
http://mybus.org/metrokc/avl.jsp?id=722
If you have access to the internet from your phone , you can view these there too.
Hope this helps take the stress off of commuting
