I rarely took non-express busses when I lived in Seattle, but once took the bus into the international district for work and then had to get to 23rd & Jackson (about 20 blocks, straight shot). First I had to wait for a route that went straight down Jackson - 10-15 minutes. Then the bus ride - 30 minutes. Then the same thing on the way back. Nearly an hour and a half, not including having to walk a few blocks to get to my destination. In retrospect, walking would have been faster, and had I driven that day, round trip would have been around 20 minutes, with traffic including the pickup I needed to make.

It may be a problem with the city, but it’s still a problem.
