Thanks.

You've still got a #7 bus coming down Rainier every 10 minutes or so, plus a possible increase in service to the 9. In either case, if you want to get on light rail you can take either bus to either Mt. Baker station or Rainier Beach station, depending on which way you're going.

It's a long haul for locals (through some dicey early morning neighborhoods) E. to the 50/39 or W. to light rail. Am I missing some E/W service in the new plan that would make light rail work for that area?

Al,
You need to do your errands on Saturday when the 128 goes to the Admiral District.

We'll see what improvements will actually come over to us, in addition to more runs downtown and the new bus service (which I'm not holding my breath to ride as it rids us of a good, regular local route 54). I had to run errands this weekend in West Seattle which took me from the Morgan Junction to the Admiral Junction. There's no bus route to do this. I could hop the 128, transfer at the Alaska Junction, and then continue on to Admiral, but the wait times for the buses and the transfer are way too long. It would have taken an additional hour to take the bus, which I accomplished in about 15 minutes of total driving. I found myself thinking, "if only there was one bus I could take that travelled up and down California Ave..."
