Seattle PI | at | by Mike
The capacity of Microsoft's free Connector regional bus system for employees will more than double under an expansion announced Wednesday. The service, which began in September, will add new routes and expand to a capacity of 4,600 seats a day from the existing 1,800, a company spokesman said in an e-mail.
Microsoft says it's adding seven routes; three Eastside routes begin April 21 and four Seattle routes May 5.The bus system is one of the amenities the company is using to help recruiting and retention in the face of stiff competition for engineering talent from Google and others.
