Sound Transit repairs will affect Link service for two months

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

LYNNWOOD — Two months of disruptions to Link Light rail will start this weekend as Sound Transit looks to tackle several projects.

Instead of its usual 10 minutes, the Link will run every 12 minutes weekday evenings and some weekends between Saturday and Feb. 27. During weekdays, the slower times will begin at the 5:30 p.m. departure from Angle Lake and the 6:45 p.m. train from Lynnwood City Center Station.

In addition, trains will be running on a single track at the Shoreline South station.

There will be a number of other service disruptions as well:

1. WTF is the matter with them?

They make us completely dependent on this system by taking away all the buses that go directly to anywhere, then they have all these service disruptions, which they describe very obliquely on their website.

I have an appointment downtown on Tuesday. It should take me 20 minutes to get there from home, or about 10 minutes from my office, but it sounds as if they won't be running trains from the station at my office.

And I suppose they expect the people they have forced on to this system who are going to the airport to 1) add about 40 extra minutes to an already long trip, and 2) to haul all their luggage up and down to the buses between stations. That's assuming that their elevators are working (they often aren't) and that they aren't full of pee or human excrement, both of which I have encountered. I have also been stuck in an elevator at Westlake Center twice.

Worst transit ever.
