    1. Also the Duvall to Monroe SVT shuttle if we’re counting SVT routes

  15. For question #11, does the E-bike stop at 65th count? It’s one bus stop sign shared by both directions, but the buses themselves stop on different sides of the sign in each direction.

    Also, do route endpoints count, for example, route 250 using the same Bellevue Transit Center bus bay in both directions? Or, does the stop have to be in the middle?

    2. The E Line stop at 65th is two different stops: 7210 and 7630.

      This question is only focused on shared stops in the middle of the route (not the first or last stop).

        1. Each bay is usually a separate stop. So a bus that stops at Bay 1 in one direction save Bay 3 in the other direction would not count. If the bus stops at Bay 1 in both directions, that counts.

    3. Ok, let me see (answering off the top of my head, without Internet consultation):

      South Kirkland P&R: 249, 250, 255
      VA Hospital: 50
      Northwest Hospital: 345
      Totem Lake TC: 225, 239
      Olson Meyer P&R: 60
      Kingsgate P&R: 225

      There are probably many more. Notice the common theme here, that when a bus serves the same stop in both directions, it’s usually some kind of loopy detour that makes the service slow and miserable for anyone passing through.

  21. 10) Link 1 Line, Link 2 Line, Link T Line, Sounder, Seattle Monorail, Seattle Steeetcar

  33. 12) Route 208 to North Bend leaves the Sound Transit district boundary, but you said jurisdiction, not route, which leaves me a bit confused, especially since Community Transit also has various routes, including the 201/202 to Marysville, that also leave the ST district boundary.
