There must be some deep-seated rage that manifests during a ride on Seattle Metro buses. Recent Metro reports show that the rate of "incidents" per rider is the highest it's been in a loooong time. Seattle's top five sketchy buses (174, 7, 358, 106, and 36) have all seen their fair share of of chaos. The war stories are real from those who ride the bus. We have seen the shenanigans that goes on; take your pick: fighting, pervs, arguing, peeing, assaults, flashing, boozing, and the random acts from your local bat-shit crazy. We just hope the pretty new Link (that opens in 66 days) won't end up with stats and stories like these. more ›
