Those who haven't yet made up their minds about whether to vote yes on King County's Proposition 1, which would raise vehicle fees to avoid King County bus service cuts and fix local roads, have a new resource to consider. Seattle Transit Blog's Oran Viriyincy has created a visualization of how "frequent transit service" in neighborhoods (defined as routes that run every 15 minutes or less on weekdays before 6 pm) will be affected if the measure doesn't pass. Keep in mind, these routes will not be cut entirely, just run less frequently. Still, it gives a pretty bleak picture of easy busriding in Seattle neighborhoods. —B.A.
