The Green Line is indispensable around our house... the kid skates to the transit center and then can MAX it down to Ed Benedict skate park. That's one mid-90s Volvo off the road.
I love the Max trains! Much more than buses. But I love the buses too! I want more service! Service after 11pm. I will pay more taxes for my mass transit service!
I loved living next to the Max. But that was only because it was one block from my house and it dropped me off a few blocks away from work. I don't use it any more since I moved. Also, I'll bet the tourists love it for the random fights that occur on the trains. Awesome!
$575 million is a LOT of bus maintenance.
There are a few grammatical/continuity issues with the post, FYI.
