Schrödinger’s Bus Stop

A Seattle writer shared a personal essay about a disagreement with a King County Metro bus driver over where to board at the Route 2 stop at 20th Avenue and East Union Street. After contacting Metro, the author learned that the official bus stop sign is the designated boarding location, not the nearby bus shelter, which is reserved for passengers with disabilities. Metro recommends riders move to the bus stop sign when they see the bus approaching and use flashlights in low light for visibility.
