Don't You Feel Safer Already?

By Jonah Spangenthal-Lee March 12, 2010

Metro fired their shitty old security company and hired a new one.


From the PI.com:



King County Metro Transit has hired a new security firm to replace Olympic Security Services inside the Downtown Transit Tunnel after Olympic's guards did nothing to intervene as a girl was beaten inside the tunnel last month.


King County Executive Dow Constantine announced Thursday that Securitas Security Services USA would replace Olympic. Securitas is already under contract with Sound Transit for security services at light rail stations and trains.


"These guards are Metro's eyes and ears, and with this change we can have higher expectations of them in their ability to deter bad behavior," Constantine said in a statement. "Safety and security remain our highest priorities."



The bus tunnel is safe now. Phew!
