As a daily bus commuter on Sound Transit and Metro, I always participate in the surveys they circulate on the bus during commute rush hours. Encouraging bus ridership to have fewer cars on the road cuts down on emissions, saves energy and alleviates congested roadways. I cleaned up trash at a park and ride bus stop last evening- litter on the sidewalk and in the bus shelter. It is discouraging on a daily basis to see the increased lack of respect for others and the environment in public transportation hubs such as transit centers and park and rides. Empty beer cans, plastic water bottles, gum, blankets, food waste and vomit at the transit center-not a great way to start or end a work day. I try to pick up where I can.
