Check out the latest ‘Inside Transportation’ on KCTV King County may be through the worst of this winter’s storms, but some of the damage will be around a while longer. This month, the "Inside Transportation" television show takes a look at some of the storm-related damage and the plans for more permanent repairs. Also on the program: a look at the recommendation for replacing the South Park Bridge; the professional drivers training required to become a Metro Transit bus driver; and the newest park-and-ride garage in the Issaquah Highlands. "Inside Transportation" airs on King County Civic Television (KCTV) Tuesday nights at 5 p.m., Thursday nights at 7:30 p.m., Saturdays at 2 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. Have you seen Metro’s ‘idol’?

The whole experience, he said once he was safely back in Seattle, was "surreal."
