- A ride on Sound Transit's Central Link Light Rail to International District/Chinatown station from SeaTac Airport. We ride in car 110, in the middle of the train.
Sound Transit's Central Link is an electrified tram-style Light Rail line from the University of Washington to Sea-Tac Airport, via Downtown Seattle. The line is energized at 1.5KV AC. An extension to Angle Lake from SeaTac is structurally complete, and due to open in September.
I'm excited for this to be extended north to my area in 2024. With that and the improvements I've heard Community Transit will be making that year, getting around the region should be easier.
Thank you
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed it. Brings back my wonderful Seattle memories.
While watching the video, I felt like I was running in rural Japan. It doesn't look like an America at all. Bravo Seattle!
The trains are made by a Japanese company, too.
Excellent video, thank you.
What a wonderful looking place.
The Rainier Valley should be turned into a high-rise district one day.
I would like to ride that someday. Nice video.

This makes me happy. I live in Kent so I never get to ride this.
Christian Oshiro seriously. Kent and Renton will never get light rail in the foreseeable furniture
Has anyone heard, Seattle is also getting 152 new Siemens s700 light rail vehicles for their expansion, more than doubling their current fleet? They’ll keep these Kinkisharyo cars, but they are updating some things about their operation.
If I'm not mistaken the start of this video was taken from the tower the 13 Coins Restaurant is in. I worked in that restaurant in 1980.
No, it was taken from the public footbridge across International Blvd from the SeaTac Airport station.
Holy shit wow is has the same closing door chime buzzard just like the R46,62s and 68s subway trains here in NYC except this version is alittle slower while ours is faster when the doors closes.
There also tunnle buses u can catch to intle district stn catch 150 101 255all these kind of buses to Westlake the last stop is covention place tunnle station
Visited Seattle two years ago and was surprised with the efficiency of their light rail system. I wish Miami had something similar but our public transit system is the worst!
I'm from Seattle and I ride this train fairly often. Doesn't Miami have a light rail that will go to the airport and elsewhere?
You should see Houston’s public transportation. It is the worst out of all.
13:52 The driver needed a lunch break this happens sometimes but no worries you get a new driver
2016 is now 7 years ago
LRT = LINK Light Rail
awesome video do you know if you can buy a ticket with cash or is it cards only
mall231 Ticket Vending Machines accept both forms of payment.
Welwyn22 thanks
Welwyn22 how much it cost for buying orca card?
$5. Unfortunately, unlike many other cities, that doesn't go as credit on the card.
Electric trolley buses?
That's correct. Seattle has a large fleet of 40' and 60' electric trolley buses.
May someone know LRT will go from Seatac airport to Mountlake Terrace? I will travel there next month. Please give me more information like which stop station, how to pay etc… thank you
Northgate is as far as you can travel right now on the LRT, the station at SeaTac has ticket vending machines. At Northgate you will need to board a Metro bus to Mountlake Terrace, which is a separate ticket payable with coin fare only.
@@Welwyn22 thank you very much Welwyn
Do you have to tap your orca card again after you leave the Link?
Yes, you are supposed to. The reason is there are two fare zones on LINK - with a difference of 25c in Off-Peak, and 75c On-Peak. With future expansion into Snohomish County and possibly Pearce County, there will be more fare zones requiring tap-out on LINK.
Welwyn22 In my town in San Francisco our light rail arrival is 15 to 20 minutes ..What is Seattles light rail ETA ?
Approximately every ten-to-fifteen minutes, sometimes less during rush hour.
Joseph Jucutan it's 10-15 minutes usually but sometimes 6-10
If you don't tap off, you get charged for the furthest station from where you tapped on.
will you be riding it to Tacoma? in 2025
Possibly. We'll have to wait and see.
It's not going to Tacoma until 2030.
It is going East to Bellevue and Redmond in 2023, and North to Lynnwood in 2024
15:38 what station?
That is SODO Station. (South of Downtown) - a revitalized industrial district.
Ok thx, its been years since i lived in seattle
20:03 SHOUTOUT TO ROUTE 1/14
where this city?
Seattle, WA, USA
Did seattle have a taxi?
Seattle does have taxis, yes.
Welwyn22 how much it cost for buying orca card?
myEV&AR $5 before you put money on it, I believe
Welwyn22 i'm going to seattle on november and i'll be staying for 6months for my internship. Can i ask, where can i buy the at&t sim card and how do i pay for the monthly pay?
myEV&AR SIM Cards can be bought from the specific retailer's stores (like AT&T or T-Mobile) and top up vouchers can be bought from them, or retailers like Safeway or 7-Eleven.

How long must you have waited for shiny weather to film that inadequate transport there, hmmm.. .. . .
Funny enough, I didn't wait a single minute. That's how I roll. Film on the day.
We don't always have bullshit weather and buses are the primary mode of transportation.
Hmmm, well by the author's telling response that wouldn't appear to be as seldom as you wish, _eh,_ although I myself'd never categorise it under always or as bullshit. My there quip chimed in early on watching his ride here. The admirably pleasant tram would be better off becoming primary had it been routed through busy areas, not customarily through those zones of discard if you will, right.. .. . .
@@trainrover It is going through significant communities. Airport, Stadium, and University of Washington all get plenty of traffic. The Downtown stops are the core of Seattle public transportation. Rainier Beach through Beacon Hill is a rapidly developing area due to the lower housing prices there, and amenities have gotten very good (and great Asian food over there).
The way Seattle has routed its tram is typically customary. It plies areas for redevelopment while bringing about slumps to the currently vibrant districts. They're doing the same crappiness with the complementary metro system now being built where I live. Our forthcoming _Réseau express métropolitain_ is to spur massive developments while the highly populated, poor areas of the northeast end of the city still have no access to rapid transit all these decades later. Corporateers' wet dreams simultaneously make me cringe and shudder.
