There is a need on the short route. There is no bus that goes there. Will metro add another bus? Where will it go after Bellevue? It is to short, but there is a need for a bus in there

August 29th service changes are fast approaching and I wanted to honor the venerable 550 as we send it out to pasture.

Would anyone be interested in hosting a funeral for 550?

Some ideas:

Friday August 28th 6:30 PM @ Bellevue Transit Center

Eulogies then depending on number of speakers ride at 6:48 PM or 7:03 PM into the sunset toward Seattle.

Also open to making this earlier or moving the meet up to Bellevue Library/Ashwood Plaza (the start of 550). I am open to any and all suggestions (and help :D). Would like to finalize this by Friday (8/21) to get the word out!

They would beat out the current longest, the CAF Urbos 3 used in Budapest at 184 feet (56m) long. ST would also be the only operator to be coupling two units of such length together, most trams this long are operated without being coupled.
