There are many reasons why we love public transportation: it saves money, we don’t have to deal with traffic, we reduce our carbon footprint, and we gain free time to do things like read or listen to music. Did you know the number of people using public transit to get to work in downtown Seattle doubles the number of people who drive alone?

Ventures and King County Metro have partnered together to help make your commute a little easier. Here are five things sold at the Ventures Marketplace in Pike Place Market that can make your next trip more comfortable.
