Cost of UW shuttle buses pushing away Huskies fans

This isn't surprising at all ~ when bus fare is as much as 1/2 of what you pay for the ticket of course that is going to slow down ticket sales
 
Plus Uber has probably taken a bite

It's a superior product; what can I say?

Hurtful.
 
Used to catch the bus to the games all the tim. At the time, it cost nothing. You just had to show your game ticket.

I'm sure Metro has a lot more to do with this than UWAD.

UW probably used to subsidize it but no longer does

Or, they still subsidize the same amount and Metro has jacked up its prices. Their operating costs have gone up I'm sure.

Do a Google search for annual salaries for bus drivers … there’s your answer

I suspected that was a big part of it. Their OT pay plus all the operating costs which have increased rapidly over a short period of time are contributing to this.

I'm afraid to look how many of them are making over $100k.

Don't forget the health care and pensions too.

And local politicians enable it because they want the campaign $$$ and public sector union votes.
 
Haven’t been to husky stadium since 2015 but the random parking lots 10 minute walk and out were like $10? Who would take the bus?
 
Why would anyone go to a Huskie game any more? The stadium is like an advertising pinball machine and it goes downhill from there.
