 Previous Message Previous Message First, Seattle is a city of seven hills and multiple bodies of water, which significantly complicate and increase the expense of any transit system. Secondly, to get the referendum to pass, they had to extent the light rail line to multiple counties, which is lunacy, and the line will eventually run from Everett to Tacoma, which is lunacy. They have been trying to get a decent transit system since the late 80's, and even earlier. Previous Message
but it sounds like the projects themselves were compromised by an inability to envision a Seattle with significantly less personal vehicle traffic.
