On Monday, citing rosier-than-expected revenue projections, the King County Council signed off on a plan to cancel planned cuts to Metro bus service. While the decision likely eliminates future Metro reductions, it doesn’t reverse the 151,000 annual hours and 28 routes that were axed just last weekend. Seattle reacted. “So King County Metro doesn’t have to make cuts in 2015 now huh? Must have checked under the couch cushions!” —@WarlockKenny, via Twitter •
“Now it’s time to pass the November Seattle transit measure so we can expand bus service in our city, and protect against any future cuts.” —@cruickshank, via Twitter •
“Well, well, well. Do we say ‘I told you so?’ Yep, we just did.” —KVI Seattle, via Twitter •
“Dembowski rocks. Council gets backbone and stands up for commuters.” —Frank Blethen, via Twitter
