King County Metro’s 8 bus line is rarely on time.

The bus runs behind schedule so often that regulars have nicknamed the eight bus the “The L8.”

Now, a dedicated group of transit advocates say they want more done to speed things up.

To draw attention, they recently challenged 8 riders to come up with fun ways to race the bus through one of its slowest sections.

We’ll hear from jugglers, leapfroggers, and more.
