No Community Transit Bus Service on Labor Day

Snohomish County, Wash. - Community Transit buses and DART paratransit service will not operate on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 6.

The RideStore also will be closed on Labor Day. In June, Community Transit suspended Sunday and major holiday service as part of the agency's cost-cutting measures. Sundays and holidays had less than a quarter of the ridership of a regular weekday.

Community Transit does not expect to restore Sunday or major holiday service this year or in 2011. By suspending service on these low ridership days, Community Transit is able to maintain frequent service on days with much greater demand.

Community Transit's revenues have dropped severely in the recent years due to the prolonged recession, falling to 2005 levels. Sound Transit and Everett Transit continue to provide service seven days a week.

Community Transit strives to help Puget Sound commuters think transit first. With 54 local and commuter bus routes and one of the nations largest vanpool programs, the agency is a leader in finding new ways to make alternative transportation an attractive option.

Call Community Transit at (425) 353-RIDE or (800) 562-1375 for bus information, or (888) 814-1300 for carpool or vanpool information, or go to www.communitytransit.org.

Material girl Michelle Obama is a modern-day Marie Antoinette

Material girl Michelle Obama is a modern-day Marie Antoinette
Posted by: Internet

Material girl Michelle Obama is a modern-day Marie Antoinette on a glitzy Spanish vacation.
Sacrifice is something that many Americans are becoming all too familiar with during this economic downturn. It was a key theme in President Obama's inaugural address to the nation, and he's referenced it numerous times when lecturing the country on how to get back on its feet.

But while most of the country is pinching pennies and downsizing summer sojourns - or forgoing them altogether - the Obamas don't seem to be heeding their own advice. While many of us are struggling, the First Lady is spending the next few days in a five-star hotel on the chic Costa del Sol in southern Spain with 40 of her "closest friends."
