Inside our region's biggest transit leap

Light rail is now running across a floating bridge.

Sound Transit’s Link 2 Line operates over Lake Washington, creating new connections between Snohomish County and the Eastside. It’s the first time in the world this has been done — but what does it actually mean for riders?

In this episode of That Transit Show, Monica Spain talks with Sound Transit Public Information Officer Rachelle Cunningham about:

• Increased frequency with the 1 Line and 2 Line
• What to know before boarding (head signs, transfers, airport trips)
• Trip planning tools and tap-to-pay options
• The engineering challenges of running rail over water
• Why delays happened — and why safety came first
• What to expect at new stations like Judkins Park

If you’ve been curious about riding across the floating bridge — or how this changes travel in the Puget Sound region — this episode is for you.
