Bus across Lake Washington (520 bridge) to downtown Seattle

This is a part of my morning commute (8:30 am).

King County Metro route 257, New Flyer D60HF bus, on SR 520, from Evergreen Point Freeway Station, across the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, stop at Montlake Freeway Station, to I-5 exit 166.

Bus Stop on a Highway? is it a park and ride?

[OranViri]

Yes, they are common in Seattle. The first one opened in 1973 at Montlake (the 2nd stop in the video). Most of them are next to park and rides but some, like Montlake are not. The old style stops are on the side and newer ones are in the center.

@OranViri Whats the difference between the green paint scheme and the blue paint scheme?

[OranViri]

@MJofLakeland1 purely cosmetic, no difference in type of service between the 3 colors: blue, green and teal. The red buses however are special being exclusive to the RapidRide "Bus Rapid Transit" service.

I'm just missing the old days of Seattle roads. 520, I-90, King County Metro, Sound Transit, Community Transit and I have never taken the Link Light Rail, cause I left WA to Florida in 2008! Just dreaming one day!
