1. Well,.that's Sound Transit all over.

Ever since voters (wrongly, IMO) gave them a blank check, it's been a nightmare. Always, always cost overruns. The service to the airport has a huge gap in it (if you have an early or late flight, forget it). It takes me at least three times longer to get downtown (at least 40 minutes compared to 11 previously). They were supposed to coordinate service with other transit agencies, but all that's happened is that many of my bus routes have been slashed or re-routed. Their trains are mostly elevated or deep in the ground and the elevators and escalators are frequently broken. Now this.

That agency needs an overhaul and to be put into competent hands. Worse, they are constantly touting their successes, even though the transit experience has worsened for a lot of us.
