A new Swift line, a RapidRide line, and 12 new light rail stations are all on deck for the coming year. Public transit enthusiasts and elected officials looking to pose at a ribbon-cutting will have busy calendars in 2024 as brand new transit lines across three different agencies are all set to open next year,
I’m excited to see it expanded. Hopefully public use and esteem will increase as well. Last time I was home I rode from SeaTac to Northgate-- or I would have, if there wasn’t a service disruption in the tunnel near Pioneer Square station which prompted two selfish impatient passengers to pull the emergency stop/exit release. The whole time they were complaining about how awful, slow, and unusable public transit is, before making public transit unusable for all the rest of us… I just hope their attitude/outlook is the minority so our infrastructure can improve.
