Frequent Sunday service on the @trimet.org 15 has delivered me to chilaquiles and mountain views with enough time to head to Powells before my train!

One cool outlier from World Cup - on June 19, more people rode light rail than metro buses. On a regular day, metro carries almost double what Link does. A sign of things to come as the system expands?

The new ferry dock coffee shop is a game changer! The more we can make our public spaces places people enjoying being in, the better they are even if you’re just passing through

More places in America should be reachable via a $10 fast ferry plus regional train combo ticket. It’s really the nicest way to travel

From the first unpowered test to today’s historic opening, what a privilege it has been to work on this incredible project. All aboard the 2 Line

Last night was the Sounders home opener - and the home opener for the 2 Line! Really enjoyed my 3 minute wait and less crowded train on the way home from the game

Spotted on the 8 this morning, although the official go live for ORCA contactless payment is Monday! Adult fare riders will be able to use physical and phone wallet credit cards to tap, a feature that will include the usual two hour transfers. Huge for occasional riders, especially sports fans

Day 3 of simulated service for the 2 Line and it’s still just so cool how much of an improvement this level of service is for Seattle. I have ridden the train 8 times and waited a total of like 5 minutes
