UW Link Light Rail Station

The Light Link Rail opened up 2 new Northbound stations the day before yesterday and I'm riding it to see where it goes and how long it takes.

It's funny that this is called "light rail". It sounds, looks, and operates just like a subway system. I've seen light rail in other U.S. cities where is slowly crawls through downtowns stopping at every traffic light. I think Seattle's system is going to eventually be called a "subway" thanks to the new underground expansions opening in the next decade, and thanks to the advocacy group 'Seattle Subway'.

I'd like to see how well the transit system functions after twenty or thirty years. I hope Sound Transit doesn't make (DC ) Metro's mistake when it comes to maintenance.....

John Miller ST has built in maintenance taxes, so we probably don't need to worry about that. DC's problem stems in large part from not having a good source of revenue for maintenance for a very, very long time.

It's Link light rail, not light link. :p ;)

Seems like it was going awfully fast in some of those stretches.

[@BritishMetric144]

Its top speed is 55 mph.
