Take a ride on the Streetcar

When you do, you’ll have company. Over 1,700 riders a day took to the rails this July on Seattle’s South Lake Union Streetcar. Seattleites are on board with the streetcar’s frequent service between the downtown retail core, the Denny Triangle, the South Lake Union neighborhood and points in between.  Just roll your stroller or bike aboard, kick back and enjoy the ride! And don’t forget that the streetcar conveniently connects to Link light rail, Metro bus service and the Monorail at the Westlake Transit Center.

Take a look at these photos of a typical day on the Streetcar.

All aboard!

     Thanks for your comment Mark. We agree that more options for mobility are needed. Planning for expanding the streetcar network is underway and a First Hill streetcar was fully funded through Sound Transit’s approved Proposition 1.

   Wait a minute–1700 riders for the whole month (that’s 55 a day)? That sounds more like a daily number. Last I heard SLUT ridership was something like 1100-1400 a day.

     You are right Jon. We forgot a couple words to highlight that the “over 1700 riders” was a per day average. In fact, ridership on the South Lake Union Streetcar was over 55,000 riders in July 2009. Thanks for catching that! We have since updated the post.
