I just wanted to tell you how much I liked this article (“Assimilate this, Seattle,” Opinion, April 20). I live in Bellevue just above Factoria and the Richards Road stop near by. But to get a bus to Seattle, I have to walk a mile and a half or wait for a bus then go one stop and then wait for another bus.

With the new lower service introduced last year, it is now faster for me to drive to Mount Rainier on a Sunday than take the bus with a transfer to Seattle.
