Hang Up and Ride!
Earlier this week, as MyBallard noted, King County Metro reported that Seattle bus ridership in the first three months of 2008 is six percent higher than the same period last year, which we think is great. The more of us on buses, the less of us driving.
However, the more of us on buses, the more chance there is to encounter obnoxious cellphone users, which we do not think is great. So we were psyched when, during our commute this morning (we couldn't ride in as we usually do because the Vancouver Half Marathon is Sunday and we're saving our legs), we saw the below ad.
We're glad to see Metro is trying to educate new riders not to yell about their most recent herpes outbreak during the afternoon commute. Now, if they can also educate new riders to have their fares and passes ready when they get off the bus so they don't hold up the line...
Sorry for the crappy quality of the picture. It was early and we were blind.
