Hey all, I'll be giving rides in the early morning from seattle to the center. If you can tollerate my driving and fork over 5 bucks for gas. I'll pick you up. Post where you live here and I'll work out where I'll pick people up. I'm not going to be making that many trips unless I can talk some of my friends to lend their cars. but post and we'll see who I can talk into giving rides.
*edit*
oh, yeah, Vashonites will get picked up at the west seattle terminal unless I hear other wise.

When ever I go on trips it alway astounds me that people don't have experiance with "PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION"
Last PAX i heard a guy who paid $40 dollors for what my friend and I paid maybe $8, for a trip from the airport to Bellevue...
Take the Bus.
Man, it's funny, but "Street Smarts" actually do exist.
Not to diss the guy who paid $40. He was mad cool. It's just...
Sometimes I am really proud of growing up on the streets of New York City.
Fixed.
Fix'd.
Actually, I'll just drive my own ass over there. :P It's only about 10 minutes away.
Yeah. My DS, my computer, my clothes, my luggage, and my cape are all worth the extra $36.
edit: Hey Legacy. You wanna go hit a couple bars while I'm up there?
plus its a ride in a BMW. 8)
Now that's more like it.
Oh and Red Machine D,
Yeah. More Money More Problems.
But fear. Wow. I didn't Expect it to be so visible.
I've been taking public tranportation my whole life, while carrying large sums of cash. (well sometimes) and I have only been rapped in the butt and ropbed twice.
1000/1 are ver good odds. it doesn't even hurt that much, and I didn't even know what I would spend that money on anyway.

Is Kingsstreet station the station in front of the airport.
It's been a year and I don't live in seatle.
I do not have a photographic memory, since my childhood did not contain that kind of traumatic training/programing.
Actually, scratch that. If you're in the States then it's okay. I've ridden the New York subway, and it makes Vancouver's much-maligned Skytrain look like Jolly Farm Revue.
I expect a common complaint letter to the Greater Vancouver Transportation Authority looks something like this:
To whom it may concern,
I recently had a very bad experience while waiting for my train at the Edmonds Skytrain station. Firstly, a group of teenagers were waiting on the platform. They didn't come near me, but I expect if the train had not come they would have attacked me because that's what teenagers do. I don't know how much you pay your security guards, but I suggest you cut them off until they stem the growing tide of teenagers in the stations.
Secondly, the train took a full fifteen seconds longer than its usual four minutes to arrive. I found this a prime example of how your public-sector maintenance crew's shoddy workmanship has bedraggled the system since square one. This socialistic government coddling must stop. Bring in underpaid, private-sector maintenance crews so that I can have ten dollars off my income taxes this year.
Thirdly, there was a bit of graffiti on the back of the seat in front of me on the train which read "4/20: One Love". I don't know what this means, but it must have something to do with those damn teenagers and their rap music. I demand that the number of security cameras in each car be doubled to eight, so that future delinquents can be caught in the act.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs. Butterworth
Very old lady with too much time on her hands.
Yes, people really do bitch to the media about groups of teenagers, slow service, and graffiti. You'd think that all the Skytrain stations, including the new ones which are all bright, well-lit, modern structures of glass and brushed steel, were fucking crackhouses. And that the trains themselves, which come every four to eight minutes and work flawlessly, were like linear-induction-powered rolling houses of torture. So whenever someone scoffs at the idea of public transit in Vancouver, I tell them to get stuffed and stop driving their SUVs.
(Besides, you probably have a greater chance of dying in an SUV rollover than of being mugged on or near a Skytrain.)
At the begining with my parents.
I like public transportation.
You don't, it's no biggy.
I'll praise it, you malighn it.
I guess that's how it works.
And there are those in the middle who have different views al together.
but you know what.
I didn't mock any one for their points of view.
So I win. And you win for just being near my win.
And if you think that sounds arrogant.
Then you are merely smelling your own upper lip.

But unfortunately, most of the tunnel busses you take outside of the city (including Bellevue) are the old ones and can be sort of disgusting.
Theres also an amazingly low ratio of crazy people to normal people.
i really don't get it.
Don't you guys like graphitti, crazy people, random preaching quacks?
I mean, what's the alternative. homogeny?
No thanks. I'll take anything over a town completely composed of people of the same color skin, creed and drug of choice.
yeah I stay away from those generally.
how can you connect with some one who is disconnected from themselves and the rest of reality
