I was a fairly car-free Seattleite before moving to Valencia, Spain where I have been without internal combustion for three years. I have always been more bike boy than metro boy but I always have a transit card in my wallet just in case. One thing that always makes me smile here in Spain is seeing little kids taking the subway to the beach with their parents, complete with pails, shovels, soccer balls, and all of the other paraphernalia required for a day on the water.

Keep up the good work. Cars were a huge mistake of the 20th century. The sooner we fix that the better.

Glad to see that Bus Chick's blog survived the sad downsizing/conversion to Web-only for the Seattle P-I.

Bus Chick is clearly being the change she wants to see in the world. She must be a person of great patience and I commend her for her contribution to improving Seattle's atrocious transit landscape.

Go Bus Chick.

This is a very cool little flick. I just posted it on The Oregonian's commuting blog in Portland. Thanks.

I think this is a great thing here it isn't a reality in my city. The bus system here is overloaded, late and not efficient. Mostly it travels North/south and not east/west which I live more or less west of my work. If only I had a bus system like this one. It is a dream and seeing it makes me more depressed about the city transit here.

I would love to be car-free, but public transit in the Hampton Roads Area of Virginia is abysmal. We are getting light rail, but I'm not sure that will be enough. Its really nice to visit cities that have a very developed public transit system such as New York, DC or Chicago.

Thanks for sharing the video.
