Of course, now that they have moved any buses that I would take out of the tunnel and onto the streets.
I work pretty early, and the 214 Issaquah/Westlake is rarely full, but when I go back home on the 554 or 214 at 3:00-3:30 it's standing room only every day. Part of it is tourists visiting relatives on the eastside that take the bus to Seattle for the day, but there are also students from private schools in Seattle such as O'Day, and a bunch of high school students from Issaquah and Sammamish that do "running start" at Seattle Central Community College.

King County Metro bus driver logs many miles

This driver deserves a lot of credit for being a good bus driver- it is not an easy job- once I remembered talking to a part time bus driver for KC and she said at least once a week a bus driver was being assaulted by someone in KC.
