Nabinut Posted June 25, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 25, 2010 Another transit provider in the Seattle region is Sound Transit, which provides Express Bus, Light Rail and Commuter Rail service in Snohomish, Pierce & King Counties. Sound Transit operates twenty-four bus routes in fifty-three cities with a fleet of approximately 350 buses. Sound Transit supports two light rail lines, one based in Tacoma and the other operating between Seattle & Sea-Tac Airport. In addition, the mostly weekday Sounder commuter rail service that runs a North & South line between Everett & Tacoma via Seattle. Sound Transit’s bus fleet is very similar to King County Metro with Gillig Phantoms and New Flyer D60LFs & DE60LFs. The difference is that ST has New Flyer C40LFs & MCI D4500s Sound Transit Gillig Phantom #9020 on Route 511, one of several that operate on weekends in Downtown Seattle: Sound Transit New Flyer D60LF #9507, one of twenty-five purchased in 1999 also operating on Route 511, this time seen in Lynwood, Washington: Sound Transit #9528, wrapped for hotmail.com is pictured just north of Union Station on Route 522: Sound Transit Central Link car #126 is pictured at Sea-Tac International Airport Station, the last current stop of the Central Link line: While riding past the Central link yard, I captured this image of several trains out of service: Video: Central Link Kinki-Sharyo Car 126: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
