Sound Transit announces a new Link ridership record: 309,000 on July 6.
A lot of Seattle transit advocates seem willing and eager to wallow in doomerism. Talk to folks in other cities facing direct service cuts or transit death spirals. We have work to do, but pretending we're worse off than we are helps no one.
This feeling is why I say every Transit Opening Day is the best one. For one glorious day, our system is perfect and we have it all. We'll be back to advocating for more trains and more buses, more places, more often on Sunday. But tomorrow? Tomorrow we party.
🚊2️⃣ Downtown Redmond... ...it's really happening 🥹 The Crosslake Connection is opening this Saturday - and you better believe we're happy 🫶
This is indefensible crap from a single Senator who has done some good work on transit in the past so I am genuinely confused here. The Mosquito Fleet Act is a GOOD THING and the state Senate should have overruled him but won’t because he’s too powerful.
The Senate has now refused to recede their amendments. Very disappointing to see @markoliias.bsky.social be in such staunch opposition to the growth of passenger only ferries. They have the potential to be an excellent boost with regards to local economies and transit networks.
Hi all! I'm hosting a Link Speedrun! If youre available, we will be starting at St Joseph Station at 12:00PM on Saturday If you can only join for a segment or two, I will be posting updates on where we are on my Bluesky
mariners fans are my favorite bunch of fans of any team in any sport. i watched the bottom half of the last seven innings standing up in my living room. thanks for letting me hitch a ride
Day 7 of #WeekWithoutDriving A photo from our (unsuccessful) trip to get the new WSF ORCA card, but having dinner with friends near and far was a worthy consolation.
Day 6 of #WeekWithoutDriving No transit photos today, as all I did was visit my parents' house via a carpool. In lieu of buses, y'all may instead have a photo of their cat.
Day 5 of #WeekWithoutDriving Just another easy day riding around on @kitsaptransit.bsky.social since my plans for a bigger trip this year fell through :( P.S. Check out the new onboard PIMS display if you haven't before ;)
Day 4 of #WeekWithoutDriving Took a leisurely ride on @ferries.wsdot.wa.gov over to Seattle to celebrate with @transpochoices.bsky.social on their new office in Smith Tower!
Day 3 of #WeekWithoutDriving A fun day of getting to see both the @mariners.com and the @seattlekraken.com all while not getting behind the wheel!!!
Day 2 of #WeekWithoutDriving : Ran two sets of errands on @kitsaptransit.bsky.social today, so to change things up I chose to show off the varied bus interiors of KT's fleet!
Day 1 of #WeekWithoutDriving Took @kitsaptransit.bsky.social to visit my partner in Port Orchard! Slow and steady start to WWD this year.
Two amazing sights, all at one moment: “At nearly the same moment the railcar first entered the I-90 bridge from the Mercer Island side, 11:49 p.m., a thick shower of sparks streaked high above the park, from an apparent meteor.” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Honestly one of the coolest things I've been a part of! The Lake has been Crossed!
What a night!
"Car light Pike Place will NEVER WORK because of emergency access" Actual Seattle Fire Department: "Who wants stickers?"
I'm starting a new awareness campaign: King County Metro buses signed with a "BASE" or "To Terminal" are in service! You can flag them down and ride! If you see a bus going in the direction you want to go, wave at the driver and ask. It's fun!
Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
It’s a good reminder that most transit users are casual users, not hyperfixated transit nerds like you see on Bluesky.
The best part of these Link Opening Day celebrations is getting to see all the people experiencing Link for the first time and seeing ridership expansion in real time. Quote of the day (while eyeing station map) “oh! We’ll be able to take the train to Chinatown soon! What a win for Redmond!”
