Wouldn't know, as I don't see myself ever having a need to ride it.

$575 million is a LOT of bus maintenance.

There are a few grammatical/continuity issues with the post, FYI.

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.

Note that the $575m includes the cost of putting light rail onto the bus mall downtown.

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!
