My guess would be that it's because of a jurisdiction issue. Metro Transit's full name is actually King County Metro Transit....it's a County behemoth and not one of the tentacles of the City of Seattle, therefore I believe that crimes committed on properties controlled or owned by Metro would go to the King Co. Sheriff's Dept for investigation.

By the way, SPD used to ride the buses as an OT detail.

Not any more? How sad. I feel particularly sorry for the little old ladies who are easy prey for the trash that ride the buses.
I know a young lady who rides the bus every day. She has been assaulted at least five times on the buses, including once in which she was knocked down the stairs onto the street as she was exiting the bus. Yes, she continues to ride the bus every day and yes she's a liberal.
Thanks to the stoatmobile, I never ride the bus. If I were forced into a position of having to, I would significantly upgrade the normal artillery that I carry when going downtown. On the buses, criminals know that they have you trapped inside of a sealed metal container, that you have no escape and that the driver will do nothing. A perfect environment for such as the trash that we see on the video here.
Thanks for the info.
