In a successful bid to make riding the standing-room-only Grand bus line (#70) more uncomfortable, Metro has removed the benches and shelters from the heavily used bus stop above the Grand Metrolink station. Nothing says "we don't care about you" like making people stand in 100-degree heat with no shade while waiting to board an overstuffed bus.

okay, I laughed out loud when I read "Sit on it," hearing Fonzi's voice in my head...

I avoid that station whenever possible, especially since about two months I was just steps away from a bunch of Vashon students fighting at that bus stop, first on the NB side, THEN they crossed over to the SB side! What a mess; and there's not really anyplace to go to get away from a scene like that.
At least they kept the pay phones. For now, anyway.
