Get Your Transit Blog On

Regular readers know that I'm something of a transit fanatic (especially, if, you know, it's monorail). Thus, I've have been rather gratified to see an explosion in transit-oriented blogs here in Seattle. Some are more first-person, others are more newsy, still others cater to your inner policy wonk.

A few worth checking out:

  • Orphan Road - Masterminded by Frank Bruno (he of "Bruno and The Professor" fame), Orphan Road is quickly becoming one of my favorite sites for transit news and happenings.
  • Seattle Transit Blog - More news and first-hand transit goodness.
  • Carless In Seattle - Microsoft Product Manager Michael O'Neill covers broader transit trends and offers opinion about transit.
  • Bus Chick - Another Microsoftie, Carla Saulter, relates her transit experiences here in town (and especially on the venerable SoundTransit 545) for the Seattle PI. (And while I don't know Carla, I'd like to say -- congrats on your expected addition to the family!)

If you're in to Seattle transit issues, all of these are worthy of adding to your RSS reader.
