Great news for bus commuters. Many bus routes in Ballard, Belltown, Capitol Hill, Fremont, Madison Park, Mount Baker, Queen Anne, the University District and Wallingford will be arriving more frequently starting this week. Every 15 minutes or less! And even better, buses on Routes 3 and 4 between downtown Seattle, First Hill, and the Central Area will arrive every eight minutes or less during weekday daytime hours. Hallelujah. There's nothing more obnoxious than arriving only seconds late for your bus and having to wait an entire half hour or more for the next one.
Riders will also notice increased service on the following bus routes: 3, 4, 10, 11, 12, 14, 26, 28 and 44.

It's about time they did something about the 3 and 4. They have been so packed they can't get up the hill to Harborview, and this is any time of day. If I have to go up there, I'm glad I get on in Belltown, so at least I get a seat. If you get on downtown, you are often out of luck.
