A man, who was sipping coffee while waiting to cross the street in front of City Market, was unaware that he inadvertently became the subject of a few laughs on my homeward commute.

Where is your bus? Find out in real-time
This service has been extremely useful to me over the past month and since I hear no one talking about it, I want to pass the word along. Have you ever been standing at the bus stop and wondered how long before your bus arrives? If anyone has ever travelled to other major cities you may have seen this information available on a ticker LED display right on the bus stop shelter.
Metro may be a little behind in offering these lighted signs to Seattle bus riders, but believe it or not, the technology is there. You now have access to accurate real-time bus arrival information for ANY stop in King County on multiple platforms. From your phone, call 206-456-0609 and select from the menu to locate your stop number. You will then hear the next few busses that are scheduled to arrive at your stop. You can also access this info via web for an easy to read timetable that is updated every minute. It’s great for having on your screen while you’re getting ready before you leave your house. SMS and iPhone-optimized webpage is also available. I love this service, check it out! And best of all, it’s free.
