There is such a desperate need for this yet Coloradoans are usually so against it. Even in the interview they ask "why not one more lane?". Because more lanes don't solve traffic people. Commuters need an easy rail line, most other cities of that size have a commuter rail option, how does Denver not? Seattle we have the sounder and it's used daily. Phoenix, San Diego, places exist with these already running. Just do it already

The sounder, the 1-line, the ferries. Seattle is pretty great for public transportation. The only place I've seen better is Vancouver, but I'm not super well traveled.

But if coming from Tacoma to go watch college hockey in Northgate? There's no better way to travel than the 1-line, IMO. Or trying to get to the airport without all the insane traffic and poorly designed on and odds? 1-line.
