Miss your favorite bus or train? Get a sticker!
With Puget Sound transit ridership down to a trickle, no doubt many of you are missing your favorite bus or train route. Cheer yourself up with a Transit Supply sticker pack! All the local agencies are represented here in adorable sticker form.
Transit Supply is the brain child of Chris Arvin, a San Francisco-based designer. He creates stickers, t-shirts and more to celebrate transit agencies in other cities including Boston, San Francisco and LA. Arvin started selling unofficial transit merchandise about a year ago, he told me. There can be a lot of negativity around public transit, but so many people love it, and for them, transit is part of what makes up their community," he said.
For Arvin, it's all about bringing people joy. When someone tags me in a selfie excited that their items arrived, or when I hear a story about strangers connecting over transit because of my merch, it makes me excited to expand and bring that to more cities."
He says Seattle has been a popular request and there will be more coming in the future. You've certainly got a lot of transit fans out there!" he noted.
Yep. And until we can all get back on our buses and trains, stickers will have to do.
A sheet costs $5.95 and can be ordered online.
