Smooth Ride SEA

The problem

Seattle’s city buses shouldn’t feel like a roller coaster. Bumpy roads and worn out suspension make routes noisy and jarring, discouraging riders and stressing those with mobility issues.

Our solution

We’re going to make some noise about how noisy our buses are & demand that transit agencies prioritize comfort through better maintenance and fleet upgrades! A smoother ride means a more reliable and pleasant system for everyone.

Join us

Follow our blog for progress updates. Email [email protected] with your video or audio clips of noisy trips, the bus number, route and the roughest portion of your ride. Together we can make Seattle’s buses smooth and welcoming!
