Earlier this month, reported that drug incidents on its buses dropped by more than one-third between 2023 and 2024. However, those numbers may not fully reflect the reality that transit operators face.

鈥�51% have not noticed a difference, 33% have seen decreasing use on transit, and 16% actually say they see more,鈥� he told “The Gee and Ursula Show” on 成人X站 Newsradio Thursday.

He noted concerns with the accuracy of official statistics, explaining that operators may be hesitant to report incidents due to skepticism or fear of retaliation.

Woodfill said drivers have told him people often get on board buses to use drugs, including fentanyl, when the weather is bad.

鈥淭hey just don鈥檛 care,” he said. “They know they can get on for a few stops and use it, and they鈥檙e not going to care if there鈥檚 a grandparent or a kid right next to them.鈥�

Transit union president calls on King County Metro for more officers

Woodfill said drivers have limited options in dealing with drug use on transit.

“They can call the Control Center,” he said. “If it’s not safe, they can always stop the bus and call for help. But then you鈥檙e tying up a bus, and passengers aren鈥檛 real happy.鈥�

He emphasized the need for greater investment in transit security.

“We need more Metro Transit police officers,” he said. “We need more of these security officers. We need to restore order and accountability on public transit.”
