You could take a bus or drive to the Lynnwood station and get to Bellevue. Even if you don't end up taking light rail to work, those that do will ease congestion on I-5, I-90, and I-405. Finally, the proposal includes a 30% expansion of ST Express bus service within Snohomish County. Also, keep in mind, that every dollar raised in Snohomish County will be used for Snohomish County projects or bus services.

To use the light rail system I would be forced to travel to down town Seattle to end at my work place in Bellevue. Now for a Snohomish County resident that seems to me to be heading in the wrong way at a very expensive cost . I don't mind helping my fellow man, but at this time I don't see any reciprocal benefit light rail coming back to me while I pay the bill. So I will again vote against all transit proposals because I believe the transit initiative will leave me poorer in money as well as service.
