Even though 9/11 was an inside job, great video, and thumbs up.

I would be dangerous if this train went that fast. #LOL

They should have build the Seattle Monorail instead of this.
-
@Rickyrab That was something done mainly for tourism just like the Monorail. I was talking about something substantial and long distant.

Um, during many of the years Seattle was supposedly without a light rail system, it was running waterfront streetcars.... if that's not light rail, what is?

Look at the video. This thing is running in the middle of sparsely populated suburbs. No wonder the ridership is only 16,000. It's amazing that you guys got an FTA grant for this.
There are bus lines in LA that have 5 times that ridership, and yet the FTA deems our planned light rail and subway expansions "not cost effective."

They could have started in '62 when they had the monorail!
I hope it wasn't going full speed because the traffic on I-5 southbound was going faster. I wonder if there's a freeze frame with the 194 in it...

It wasn't, if I remember it was going 45 or so.. But they said it won't go much faster than 60.. It'll seem awfully fast when traffic is bad. Seeing it fly by when you're going nowhere in traffic will be a pretty good advertisement for light rail I bet..

How long was the ride one way?

about 15 minutes each way.. It's just a portion of the entire line though, just the part that's finished.
