why were they trying to do light rail and monorail separately? could have saved a lot of money by just doing one.

They were two different choices. Took 10 years to decide what we wanted. Way too long.

the chime sounds exactly like the one on the Siemens LRVs we have here in Denver.

Sounds like the one we have here in Phoenix.

I live in Seattle, and I think they should have done something like this a lot sooner and make it better...Like BART in San Francisco or the Skytrain in Vancouver...This is crap!!!

You should blame the stupid people who voted against expanding light rail in Nov 2007. If it had passed then it would have expanded it with two new lines to Lynnwood and Bellevue.

[PatrickG07]

I do, I dunno why they voted against something like then when they sit there and complain about the traffic being bad haha...Some people are soo dumb around here I swear...

Is the train in operation in Seattle now?

[ESRRX]

They are still testing parts of it but it should be open by 2009.

[JZX100Chaser]

I hope it's like Tacoma where you don't pay to ride...

mukhang unggoy naman ng video nyan

[bbundridge]

yes I do I just need to take the time to upload the 6 new ones I took within the past week.

[Davrodeo]

do you have any videos when the crossings are connected for light rail?

[crapper1]

wow not everyday you see a crossing not activate when a train comes even tho it wasnt connected

[bbundridge]

At the time this video was taken the grade crossings were not activated. They are now in working order =)

[trainmanwp]

Nice video but why didn't the railroad crossing signal lights work?

[railfunny]

Another great video. It looks like they increased the running speed slightly since the last video.
