Public transit in Seattle works for many commuters but the two largest residential neighborhoods in the city are still poorly served. If you are not near the main line getting to a bug stop can be very difficult. Local bus service still seems to be lacking in many areas of the city.

For me it's no problem, both my office and apartment are on the C Line route but if I lived in North Admiral I would probably just ride my bicycle to work.

Public transit in Seattle is still not convenient or even possible for actually getting around the city. I still use Uber/Lyft or my own car or motorcycle to get around other than getting to work and even then I prefer to ride the motorcycle in traffic over being crammed into the sardine can C-Line.

Yeah, we could use a lot better coverage in a lot of neighborhoods. Hopefully expansion of the light rail and bus lines that work with it will help, but I don't think it can ever ideally serve everyone – which is why we need to make sure we still adequately serve cyclists and drivers to pick up those who can't be reached.

But hopefully we can expand transit to where most people choose it over cars.

Yeah we lack a lot of last mile coverage. I'm hoping that with light rail expansion we keep the same number of buses but move then to more last-mile service to help people get to light rail stations.
