This the first post in a series about how bus cuts will affect people in King County.
Alex Rouse is graduate student and Seattle sports fan who uses King County Metro as her primary form of transportation. Here is what she had to say about what the bus means to her family.
My husband and I can’t afford to own a car. We use the bus for EVERYTHING: going to work, going to graduate school, going to visit my family (in Queen Anne, Ballard & Greenlake), going out to dinner/drinks, to get groceries, to see friends. We rely on public transportation to live a healthy life.
[If the cuts happen] our lives would be affected in so many ways. The most heartbreaking would be living six miles across town from my little brother and sister and having to miss out on special moments as they grow up.
