They get letters

But this is just one of the gems that the Seattle Times received for print on Saturday, May 19th, by one of the “entitled”.

I commute by bus from Bellevue to downtown Seattle each weekday. On May 16, I had to ask myself if I was nuts to bother.

A semi truck crashed near Rainier Avenue South, on Interstate 90 in the early morning commute hours. The regular I-90 lanes were blocked by this accident. So, what did the Washington State Department of Transportation do? They opened the HOV lanes to all traffic.

What did this do? We got a parking lot in the HOV lanes. I was one full hour late to work that day.

I see absolutely no reason to ever open the HOV lanes up to those who choose to drive single-occupant cars.

It’s a slap in the face to all of us that go out of our way to try to help make less traffic, not more.

— Kristen A. Kuhn, Bellevue

Yes, because no one else deserves to move on the interstate if Kristen can’t. It’s called getting traffic flowing, Ms. Kuhn. I bet most of the other folks on the road with you were also late for work.

Oh, and if you really wanted to “go out of your way to try and make less traffic”, you’d move to fucking Seattle and stay there. I hear that some folks are concered that not enough women are buying condos. You could make less traffic and fill in a hole that isn’t inside your head.

Remember Kristen, those people you do not want in your precious carpool lanes are subsidizing your cheap commute.

Have a nice day.
