So, the "Water Taxi" is running again?

That sounds great, because I really enjoy the convenience it provides, but unfortunately, I can't get to it most of the time.

The "Water Taxi" is a great way to get to town, and it helps cut down on car usage, but because of where I live, I have to drive to Seacrest Marina most of the time. I'm not the only one. I ride the Metro Bus route 37/53. You know, that's the route that goes along Beach Drive and Harbor Avenue, from "the Junction to downtown?" And reverse, some of the time.

Guess what? This bus does not run on Sunday and only has two trips a day on Saturday. You ought to see the route schedule for mid-week - unique!

For whatever reason, Metro keeps forgetting that there are a lot of potential bus/water taxi riders on this route, seven days a week.

As I noted, I really enjoy the trip downtown by boat, but Metro nearly makes it impossible. I hoped that the new Metro Bus schedules would give some consideration to our area of West Seattle, but once again, they somehow manage to ignore a very large area of the West Seattle map.
