They break all their rules all the time like when they run the 358 and call it an express because it doesn't stop but twice between this and that or whatever. It's da govament, they don't give no $hits about you internets uzerz, lolcatz. Okay. So check it: my beloved Three-One-Six is not to be confused with it's daily local runner the 16. It follows nearly the same route up north, but once it gets down to 65th, it parts ways with the 16 and heads up to the freeway at the park and ride. This is only semi-convenient as at this point, the bus is standing room only, and it is getting to be pretty damn tight. 99% of the time - and I've ridden this ride for a year and a half - this route is filled with sleepy commuters running their baggy eyes into the heart of the beast like the rest of us. Selling our souls for another five minutes of lust fulfilled. But I digress. Occasionally the 316 will have a talker who had a little too much coffee, but this is rare. Especially on the earlier runs. Catch the last run and you get the late-comers, the typical snots who still haven't been able to give up their damned $tarsucks. Hello! - ever hear of a French press? It's the only way to truly savor the rich abundance of body and texture held locked away like secret jewels in a cave inside those toasty beans. Pigs. But again, I have found myself astray on a tangent. I should not be doing this at 11:30pm. I should be unconscious. Anyway, ride the 316, and if you do, say hi to the dog who usually sits in the back.

Very little is offered by way of seating, covered space under which to hide from the elements (sides are all open so any light wind will bring the elements to you), and streets must be crossed in order to get anywhere off of TC Island, unless, of course, you plan to just hop on to another bus. Close-ish, proximity-wise, to Northgate Mall, but still a bit of a walk (maybe 5-10 minutes depending on your speed, traffic and the weather) to the mall entrances. Get ready, too, for some stairs!

The Northgate Transit Center is conveniently located just off I-5 and is across the street from…read moreNorthgate Mall. In addition, there are numerous parking lots that riders can utilize for their commutes. Most of the routes located here are to and from downtown Seattle. Though there are a few that head further north. Route 41 is great because it has nonstop service to and from downtown making for a faster commute. There are also a few buses that go to nearby neighborhoods like Ballard, Green Lake, Wallingford and the U-District. Though you are better off taking a different route to those places if you are travelling from downtown rather than getting to Northgate and changing buses. The transit center is just okay. It seems clean enough, though not pristine. Though I don't know how I would feel waiting here at night. If you live on the north end, this should be your spot in commuting to and from downtown.

But in reality, it's much more than that and much cooler than any other park & ride. This is most definitely the biggest park & ride that I've ever seen. The shelter for waiting for buses is the largest I know of, and of course it has murals on the walls painted by local children. This place has memories. Running from my car to the bus to try and not miss finals. Running from the bus to my car to try and get to the nearest gas station because I had to pee. Helping a friend learn how to drive. One of the coolest things about this place is that there is a heron family that lives in the very back of the lot. I've actually seen a heron fly into the tree, and it was a spectacular bird! Supposedly there are cameras and you can see live footage of the nest from the nearby police station and the Bothell Public Library.

Absolutely AWFUL experience, I just sent en email to these people regarding my experience today so…read moreI will just copy and paste it. Hello there, my name is Nic, I just recently sailed with princess cruises who utilized your services as a form of transportation from the cruise dock to Seattle/Tacoma airport this morning around 8-9AM. It was me, my girlfriend, and her mother who is elderly. Let me start by saying wow, what an absolute disappointment, from someone who works at a resort and understands all aspects from safety to hospitality, this was a massive safety violation on all ends and very unprofessional. This was also my first time sailing ever. Our bus loaded and was blowing HOT AIR the entire trip BACK to the airport with ZERO ventilation, I want you to keep in mind there is A YOUNG BABY IN A CAR SEAT ON THIS BUS, AND A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF ELDERLY ON THIS BUS. At first we thought maybe the air conditioning was warming up or that it would get cold eventually, about 10 minutes into the drive NUMEROUS people started vocally complaining to our driver, in which she did absolutely nothing about. She did NOT TURN OFF CONSTANT HOT AIR IN A BUS WITH NO VENTILATION. There was no safety announcements of any kind departing on this bus as well, nothing. This bus should NOT have been in service to begin with, you're telling me you can't tell when the air conditioning is broken on a bus when driving it back from the airport to the dock? She finally decided to listen to us AS WE ARE PULLING INTO THE AIRPORT PARKING LOT, and then after what did she do? SHE TURNED IT ON AGAIN! Every single patron in this bus went off on her and the lady with a baby in a car seat ran off the bus for the safety of her own child, who can NOT willingly stick up for themselves. The bus driver was SCREAMING back at us stating that we could not unload until everything on the bottom of the bus was unloaded, which I completely understand, however. HER TONE WAS AWFUL AND RUDE AND SHE WAS ACTING LIKE IT WASNT HER FAULT THAT SHE KEPT THE HOT AIR COMING THE WHOLE RIDE. And at this point, I felt like many peoples safety were at risk, and this was the complete opposite of hospitality. I did not catch the drivers name as she ran off the bus as quick as she could and just threw up her hands in a rude manner walking away from the bus. I did take pictures of the bus number and the back of the bus that has the license plate # and other information. I will never ever ride on a bus from this company again, it's very clear to me your drivers lack self awareness for their patrons' safety and it's not in their best interest. Thanks for ruining my travel day, now I will always remember my Alaskan cruise by something as small as this. I am VERY sure I will not be the only person sending emails regarding this issue that happened this morning.

Great option from Seattle to Crystal…read more Two recommendations: 1. Clarify pick up location in e-mail. There were two addresses for the Downtown Seattle pickup. I was lucky to be at the right one, but I was 2 minutes from walking to the next address when I did not see the bus. 2. We left at 415pm from Crystal. We waited for other passengers. I don't mind waiting, but I thought it was unfair for those who returned to the bus on time. I recommend just changing the departure time to 430pm. Crystal closes at 415pm. Not to mention that we had to sit in traffic for an additional hour in the morning, so that was a total of 75 minutes that I missed on the snow. The bus is still very convenient if you don't have a car and it is only you for the day.

The old MTRWestern Volvo had bad shocks. I-5 to Vancouver had few big bumps, but getting onto the…read morefreeway and Vancouver avenues had plenty. None of the outlets nor USB ports worked, nor did the fan controls overhead. The slight draft through the vent and the broken seal around the windows sufficed. Our bus carried only five passengers, we spaced ourselves apart, and fortunately nobody nuked a big one. Most of the window gaskets squeaked, annoyingly, and one showed a visible gap. I did think, a window could fall out, and thus would not reach Vancouver on schedule. They couldn't even properly adjust the large LED clock, still set on Standard Time and a few minutes late. Litter left and scattered from the previous trip tells me either nobody cleaned the bus in Seattle, where we originated, or they were given so little time or otherwise cleaned it poorly. I wouldn't have known about MTRWestern had Flixbus not contracted them for the codeshare to Vancouver. Nor would i have otherwise chosen them. They ran the worst, dirtiest, and least maintained bus i've ever ridden.
