Week 40 Assignment: Public Transportation

To continue on my Public theme, I chose Public Transportation this week. We got a new light rail system in Seattle that goes from downtown to the airport, so I decided to check it out and go for a ride. The system is getting better, with lots of money and a long way to catch up to the growing population. If you need it, you have many public transportation option available from the extensive bus system, this new light rail, and also a commuter train. Many expansion plans are in place to help make us a metropolis some day.
