Ghost buses have been rampant, so Fix the L8 Ghost Bus-ters set out Thursday night to track them down while asking riders to email to local leaders and remind them to vote!
Make sure you vote by Tuesday, ideally via a ballot drop box!

The Seattle Transit Advisory board sent a letter to SDOT in response to their Seattle Transportation Plan 3-year Implementation Plan on Tuesday. It includes scathing language surrounding their traffic study on Denny Way and we wholeheartedly agree with it.

Our banner on the @transit.app is now live! It's hiding behind the Transit 6.0 update banner but you'll see it if Route 8 is in the top 4 nearby routes or if it's pinned and nearby. Riders will also see a similar message on the GO navigation screen after answering questions while on riding Route 8.

And to top it all off: a driver swerving into the oncoming traffic lane to make a left turn while their light was red, nearly hitting a pedestrian with tires screeching the entire way.

Nothing to see here, just your average experience on Route 8 (thanks @juanjpg.bsky.social for the video!)
• Bus takes 16 minutes to go one block
• Riders give up halfway and just start walking
• 2 other buses manage to catch up in the meantime

We'll see you at 5 tomorrow at the SW corner of Denny Park!

Join us next Thursday, July 10th at 5 PM at Denny / Dexter to race Route 8! It’s easy to outwalk the L8, but can we still beat it while doing the cha-cha slide, hopscotching, or in a conga line? Join one of our race activities or bring your own creative things you can do while still beating the bus!

So far, May 2025 is Route 8's least reliable May in recorded* history! At PM rush hour, less than half of trips are within 5 minutes of the schedule.
