Multiple Options

What all the kids are talkin' about

Tonight M*A*N and I had our quarterly State of the Options meeting where we talked about the current trends, fads, and eccentricities of the Seattle Metro bus system. The "talk of the town" at tonight's gathering was obvious: Bus #4013.

#4013 is usually seen on the 49 route, but also makes appearances on the 43 from time to time. So what is all the fuss about? Well, the #4013 appears to be a completely unique Metro coach! For example:

• One of the few non-white 4000-series coaches
• Yellow doors
• (and most importantly) the black "rogue" rear panel, also popularized by the #4044 and more recently the #4001

Today M*A*N rode said coach in the morning -- I saw it stopped at Broadway and Republican during my afternoon run. It's a treat to spot.
