Washington / Seattle Looks Like Shit Thread

The old jewish and wasp women of MI could only sabotage the bridge line for so long

If you charged even $1 to ride for everyone (cash only) it would cleanup a lot of the crap quickly.
city clowncil here made the bus free during the plandemic

They've kept it free and cut from the budget to do so. Predictably there are a bunch of methhead unhouseds who take the bus and scare law abiding people. They have ruined a lot of bus stops with their trash, needles, and shopping carts.

Or they give them prepaid ORCA cards to swipe. If you made it cash only, and gave them cash then the methheads would buy more meth and stay in Seattle instead of riding.
 
They need proper turnstiles and payment. I'm not going to over react about the light rail being a cesspool, but its been progressively becoming one. I ride it much less now that I'm out of Seattle proper, but when I do, the number of comatose homeless I pray are breathing has been increasing.

Yes

There's a way to help the disabled and/or low income people with reduced or free fares and it's not rocket science.
 
Noted economist @HHusky can’t grasp that most successful businesses plan for more than the next payroll and like stability. At this point, I fully expect Washington to keep raising taxes until all that’s left are government workers.

It should be noted that the massive taxpayer fraud being caught and funneled to Democrats/UniPartyGOP is a revenue stream that is drying up under the Trump DOJ.

Ernie loves fraud as much as he likes the Fed.
 
Lying Bob is trying to blame it on ignoring it in the past.

Which is absolute bullshit.

It's fraud and graft and funneling dollars to other shit.
Washington hasn’t had a GOP governor in over 40 years but it’s the other people’s fault. If only Ferguson has access to the Democrat party leadership!

Fucking liars, all of them.
 
When the 2019 clean energy bill passed, PSE was going to show that impact as an adjustment to the rate as a seperate line item but Bob bullied the into combining it into the overall rate.
 
Just read a stat that in 2024, for Spokane Transit Authority - every single ride was subsidized $13.94

Probably cheaper to just let people Uber and kick in the rest. Get rid of all the Capex, maintenance costs and admin.

What’s Dow making these days? $400k+?

Used to chat with a guy who worked for the company that ran, or runs ORCA cards which for those outside of the Puget Sound region its how you pay for fares nowadays. He'd been around the world working on transit and he flat out told me not a single public transit entity is able to run without government subsidies. Obviously some higher than others, and fare evasion can't help.
