Seattle got a light rail and it’s great.

    It is. I do wonder if a good portion of the sound transit board is secretly opposed to public transit. Why is the light rail not a flat fair? Why is the monthly pass such a train wreck? Honestly the whole system should be one flat fair?

    Personal antidote. I had a easier time buying a day pass for Paris' metro (I don't speak French) than I did buying a day pass in Seattle.

    1. I got a light, gentle, loving rail and it was quite nice (obligatory 196 horny comment)

    2. For cities I really like the light rail, metro service. No fixed times, but regular enough that it can be relied on to commute is perfect for encouraging mode shift from car use, and using majority line of sight rather than signalling makes things much cheaper. God I love trams.
