Sound Transit launches a new light rail line this weekend
July 17, 2009
Just wanted to congratulate Washington’s Sound Transit today: they’re opening their new Link light rail line this weekend! Watch the ad above to see how dreamy the new commute will be :)
The new line connects downtown Seattle with the neighbouring city of Tukwila, and you can ride it for free all weekend during their special hours. For more on the opening plus a route map, check out their website here.
Edit: I should also mention Seattle Transit Blog for more—as you can tell from its name, it’s a local blog focused on Seattle transit, and it’s jam packed with info, reactions, and more about the new line!
While we all celebrate the Canada Line operational and look forward to more rail in North America. I was very surprised to hear about rail opposition in Hong Kong today. Pepper spray had to be used as people went through fences and barricades.
