Community Transit helps seniors navigate buses, trains
EVERETT — Seventy years ago, Brian Hunt used to ride the bus every day.
Growing up in San Diego, he had fond memories of using public transit to get to his school. But when he first tried to ride the Link light rail, its complexity, as he saw it, got the better of him.
“Here’s where I got stuck,” Hunt said, pointing at an ORCA ticketing booth outside the light rail station in Lynnwood on Wednesday.
Transit agencies know the ticketing systems, connections and route mapping required to fully utilize their services can be confusing for some at first, especially for seniors. That’s why Community Transit partnered with YMCA of Snohomish County to host educational workshops to give older adults an in-depth lesson on getting around the county — and beyond — using public transit.

Must be really older folks. I'm 67 and haven't had a problem.
