Seattle Streetcar
Seattle streetcar:
Half million riders and counting…
One year after the start of passenger service, the Seattle Streetcar has served more than 500,000 riders, far exceeding original estimates. In celebration of the one-year anniversary and to thank residents who have made the line a success, streetcar rides will be free December 12 through December 26, 2008.
“A half million riders on just the first line reflects the tremendous potential of streetcars,” said Mayor Nickels. “A Seattle streetcar network will be an important part of our future, offering a climate-friendly transportation choice that helps attract employers and encourage more job creation.”
Since its inaugural trip on Dec. 12, 2007, the Seattle Streetcar has carried thousands of passengers every week between South Lake Union, the new waterfront park, Denny Triangle and downtown retail core.
With funding recently approved by voters as part of Proposition 1, the City and Sound Transit are moving forward with a second streetcar line that will connect First Hill to Link light rail stations on Capitol Hill and downtown.
