Keep the 400 and 800 series commuter bus routes


Keep the 400 and 800 series commuter bus routes
The Issue
Community Transit wants to kill off its commuter bus routes, despite protest from its riders, and is ignoring input from its own survey (source) (source - archived).
CT wants to take your convenient one-seat ride and replace it with an unreliable transfer to a crowded light rail train. Even with Sound Transit's plan to ease crowding, you won't have a seat on the train (source) (archived) EVEN with the low estimate. This makes everyone's commute more difficult, as you now have to worry about making the transfer at Lynwood, and if you'll have a seat on the train.
Another downgrade is the seating. The current commuter buses have plush seats comparable to that of business class on an airliner, whilst the seats on the light rail are made of hard steel with little padding and do not recline. Why would you want to give up your luxury ride to work?
In case CT ignores this and cuts bus routes anyway, donate here to buy buses and run the routes ourselves
