The Crosslake Connection to the Eastside opened yesterday!
Myself, @nunivek.bsky.social, @liamsteckler.com, @justjustan.bsky.social, @alpenhiker.bsky.social and my mom all went on a 2 Line trek!

Looks like the opening of a new #lightrail line in #Seattle could be a popular option for them. It even uses a floating bridge to cross a lake! Let’s hope more cities can follow suit and open more #rail based #transit! @waroncars.bsky.social :-)

The Pioneer Square station sign as seen from inside the light rail car. To the left of the sign, another sign showing 1 2 52. The 1 is green and the 2 is blue, signifying that Station 52 serves both the 1 Line and the 2 Line
Sports stadium as seen from the new Line 2 ramp heading due east toward Judkins Park, Mercer Island, and Bellevue. I’d name the stadium but I don’t know sports. I just know transit.
A highway as seen from inside the light rail car. We are pacing as fast as normal traffic. Imagine this view with train outpacing logjam rush hour!
Today was the perfect day to be a transit nerd—a historic day for Seattle, for engineering, for innovation, and for the community. 🧵

“And I can anticipate that when this opens, there will be lots of commuters on the train who will be zooming past folks who are stuck in traffic in a very satisfied way.” #Crosslake #soundtransit #Seattle #lightrail
I am so excited at the light rail line connecting Seattle and the east side is almost open! Thank you for all you have done to make this happen Claudia.

Pleasing to see people gathering to watch testing of new #lightrail. The 16 mile @purplelinemd.bsky.social in #Maryland with bring #masstransit to thousands, getting people out of their private vehicles @waroncars.bsky.social #TransitSky
I think it's going to be absolutely game changing for people.

Toen het Kamperlijntje nog een tramlijn zou worden hebben we vanuit HTM gekeken naar verlengingen via straatspoor in Kampen en Zwolle. Dan breng je de mensen ook echt waar ze naar toe moeten. #lightrail #tram #movares #HTM
The light rail system in Barcelona keeps expanding and will eventually be finished along the Avenida de Diagonal which is where I was standing to get this shot. #lightrail #publictransportation #barcelona #streetphotography
Is this an Interurban?The A line uses the former right-of-way of the Pacific Electric Railway for much of its way from downtown LA to Long Beach, CA. If a light rail is running on a former Interurban line, does that make it an Interurban? #interurban #lightrail #losangeles #transit

A bonus is the view of the East Don Valley when crossing on Eglinton.
It took about 20min from Bathrust to here. That's an unimaginable time before Line 5.

Eastbound train pulling into Forest Hill.
This line has quickly proved itself to be godsend.
Its opened up so many new parts of the city when before you'd had to sit (probably stand) on a crowded bus.
Long delayed but welcome all the same.

This is how the new light rail tracks looked like 6 months before the light rail trains started transporting people along the Avenida de Diagonal. There is one phase left to finish to connect the north tracks to the south tracks. #lightrail #barcelona #transportation #streetphotography
