Amazon will contribute $1.5 million to increase public transit capacity this fall, for Seattle routes where its workers squeeze into buses.
The e-commerce giant’s money will allow 22 more trips daily that can haul 1,700 people, King County Metro Transit announced Wednesday.
These affect some of the city’s most crowded corridors: the E Line on Aurora Avenue, the C Line from West Seattle, the 40, 62, and 63 from North Seattle neighborhoods, and the crosstown 8 to Capitol Hill and the Central Area.
