Here is an heart-warming story about a man who is systematically riding every bus line in the Seattle area. He started with route 1 and is working his way up. So far, he is up to 152 and has a few hundred lines to go.

Seattle has a pretty good bus system. Although Seattle is the nation’s 14th largest urban area, its buses carry the eighth-most number of trips and passenger miles. Seattle’s buses carry a higher percentage of commuters and of total regional travel than Portland’s rail and bus system put together. Seattle’s hydroelectric-powered trolley buses are one of the few transit systems in the country that actually reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
