Sound Transit's Q2 light-rail ridership soared 77 percent
Ridership on Sound Transit's Link light-rail system jumped 77 percent in the second quarter compared with ridership in the same period last year.
The opening of Sound Transit's University Link line in March largely drove the ridership increase, agency officials said in a press release. The second quarter was the first full quarter after the opening of the line, which features stations on Seattle's Capitol Hill and at the University of Washington.
