Cost of UW shuttle buses pushing away Huskies fans

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.
 
Masks. Mandates. Higher Bus Rates. A shitty product. Violent drug addicts scattered through the city. What could go wrong?

Actually, @Logistics needs to chime in on this.
 
There is a lot of speculation here with very legitimate possibilities. I would love to find out definitively if anyone wants to up their lifelessness cred.

Do a Google search for annual salaries for bus drivers … there’s your answer
 
Imagine viewing the $30/$40 per game cost of parking on campus as being the cheaper option

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.
 
Plus Uber has probably taken a bite
