Sometimes at night Intercity Transit driver Gary Timm can't see whether there are people waiting at a bus stop.
"It's very dark, and with the lights on in the bus, there's a lot of glare," said Timm, who drives routes 41 and 48 to The Evergreen State College. "Some of the stops, you can't tell until you get right on top of them."
Since IT began testing solar bus stops and flashing beacons last year, Timm said it has made his job easier.
