Good day everyone, wot are your opinions on the Link Light rail system in Seattle?
>>2084938The west coast has this weird aversion to letting cities be cities. Should have built a proper metro and should have done it a long time ago. It's better than nothing. Floating bridge is neat.
>>2084940>The west coast has this weird aversion to letting cities be cities. could you elaborate on that? And gotcha, yeah the floating bridge is cool.
It's a project that was invented purely to manufacture a reason to massively increase the budget for Sound Transit and give Dow Constantine an overpaid job to retire into, elected by a board he appointment himself while running King County.Ignoring that, the billions it costs, and the delays, as a mode of transportation it is fine and would be great in a city that didn't have fare dodgers, junkies smoking fentanyl, 'youths,' and unhoused neighbors causing shutdowns by stealing the copper wiring out of the signal systems.
seattle had a chance to build a proper metro like BART in the 80s but funds went to MARTA instead after a failed proposition. I hear traffic is absolutely horrible up there (so is atlanta's)
>>2084938We stan sound transit in this householdt. Not even from Seattle but in Chicago but like I do think the sound transit system seems pretty cool, I think their vehicles are clean as well.. and the new floating bridge to connect over east is like damn.. will be cool to see what they have in store for the future
Like how r their trains so cute tho.. I love their design of like the waves the livery
>>2084969gotcha, yeah by the looks of the future service map, looking forward to it
