Who needs riots? Thank you transportation planners? And Happy Ride Transit Month

Way to go transportation planners. Invite thousands of guests to town for the FIFA Club World Cup.

Then schedule at least two major transportation disruptions for the very same weekend. 

Such a brilliant way to make a good impression on visitors.

To wit:

SoundTransit. 

Regarding the FIFA World Cup Club

Ride Sound Transit during FIFA Club World Cup 2025: Matches from June 15 - 25

The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will bring six matches to Lumen Field between June 15 and June 25, marking the first time the U.S. hosts the tournament. With up to 150,000 visitors expected over ten days, Sound Transit anticipates a surge in ridership, particularly on the 1 Line, where regular commuters should prepare for crowded trains. To accommodate demand, weekday Sounder schedules will see adjustments, along with additional trips on select Sound Transit Express routes to enhance service.

Due to this international tournament, riders will need to plan for extra time as we manage services to support ridership.

To view event service, please visit the link below and click on the individual event dates under Club World Cup Event Service section.

Please note that the Sounder schedule is being readjusted, this includes canceling some trips to reallocate train resources to provide event service.

Plan your trip or find alternate service options.

From the ST downtown track repair announcement email.

Definitely close all downtown Light rail stations and then encourage people to ride the train to capitol hill and take the streetcar downtown.

On Saturday, June 21, and Sunday, June 22, Sound Transit will close the 1 Line between Capitol Hill and SODO stations. This closure concerns repairs to the track near Westlake Station. 

 

On these days, shuttle buses will serve each 1 Line station between Capitol Hill and SODO. The bus stop locations are listed later in this message. Passengers should consider taking a local bus line to travel faster through the area. A visual chart on the Navigating service disruptions web page displays alternative service options. Please call Passenger Care at 1-888-889-6368 (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.) for trip planning assistance. 

 

The 1 Line will operate approximately every 15 minutes between Lynnwood and Capitol Hill and between SODO and Angle Lake. At Capitol Hill and SODO stations, trains will operate in both directions on the same platform, to be determined based on operational needs. Passengers who need assistance navigating the station can request help from Sound Transit personnel on the platform or by calling or texting Security at (206) 398-5268.

Seattle braces for traffic chaos as lane closures begin on Ship Canal Br...

RantWoman would love to be wrong. RantWoman would love to hear that everything worked magically, that all forms of wayfinding performed brilliantly, that visitors who won't ride the bus under normal circumstances will all pile onto the bus or summon Uber / Lyft 

Metro along Denny and repairs at UW Montlake Medical Center

In the meantime, RantWoman has a separate rants about multiple stop closures for the Metro 8 along Denny way.and about pedestrian conniptions while the from entrance to UW Medical Center Montlake is under construction.
