"71" by the talented Tim Willis

With the ever-increasing cost of gas, the Seattle P-I seems to have taken an extra keen interest in public transit. A quick perusal of the local news on the P-I's site found more stories about taking the bus than any other topic in the local news. It sounds like an exaggeration, but these were all headlines for different stories, from the same day.

* Bus Trip Planning Can Take You Far

* Sample Trips: Transit vs. Car

* Parking the Car is a Good Way to Spend Your Time (Which was subtitled: "Taking public transit took longer, but it's better for environment.")

And, just in case they hadn't swayed you with those first three stories...

* Gas Prices Killing Your Budget? Why Not Hop on the Bus Instead?

Who at Seattle Metro is paying off the P-I? And how does Seattlest get in on the action? We LOVE Joe Metro, we take him all the time. We were into it even before it was hip!
