The Bus is Crowded. Really Freakin' Crowded!

OK, so I've seen the bus crowded before. But now, my favorite bus (the 8:44 a.m. 577 from Federal Way) has been full to the point of people in the aisles for the last few times. And it's summer! People are on vacation, or at least they were last year. Maybe they're having to work more to pay for utilities. The 177, or the slightly earlier bus, isn't quite as bad, last I checked, but they are fuller than they have been. So's the 196. I am so, so thankful that I don't have to drive to work anymore. That would be three gallons of gas every two days, at best, and it would be awful.
