Auto Bus War Heats Up In King County Transit Fight
The Stone Webster corporation plans to run large buses from Buckley to Auburn, feeding trolley lines, provoking protests from private operators Hill & Laush and H Lan who run Enumclaw to Auburn routes. A rumored Buckley to Seattle round trip fare of 1.45 could crowd private lines out. Hill argues the goal is to push rivals out with low initial rates before freely setting prices. Merchants and residents along the line are urged to oppose the new service and support private operators.
