Excellent article here about the problems with the RapidRide R proposal. Making buses faster is good, but not by making the service less useful. Eliminating all these stops defeats the purpose of transit. Metro exists to serve the people, and the people don’t want these stops to close.

This is the thing! Not every bus route is the same, and making people walk along Rainier Avenue for several additional blocks adds time and danger (because, again, it's one of the most dangerous streets for pedestrians in the city, a problem that has never been treated with any urgency.)
