Metro shuts down 100 bus lines | Seattle

King County Metro shut down more than 100 bus lines Thursday night — cutting its service in half and stranding commuters — after deciding some icy roads were just too dangerous for its fleet. Service is likely to be hindered again today.
...
Thursday night passenger David Enroth e-mailed The Times to vent about the Metro cancellations.

"Who in the hell is responsible for this decision? How does METRO expect people like me to get home without freezing to death?" he wrote. "I live in Madison Park and the only bus service is Route #11. I'm at the Seattle Center. How am I supposed to get home?"

When reached by phone an hour later, he was still at Seattle Center, seething and without a way home.

Shouldn't David just be happy that he's been temporarily spared the inevitable CO2-driven combination of malaria, kidney stones, heat stroke, and dengue fever?
