How much does it cost Sound Transit to opearate the fair compliance program, including staffing? How much money have they recovered from the "fare evaders" since they reinstated the program back in November? In Japan, I think nothing when a train conductor comes to my car and starts inspecting the tickets. Here, as soon as I see a fare enforcement person onboard, I feel like vomiting.
The board meeting with #SoundTransit on whether to continue considering Amazon and the Mayor's alternative proposal for #Seattle 's Ballard Link is happening tomorrow, May 23 2024, 1:30-4:00PM PT.
Once again, there's corpo-political BS going on with light rail. Seems that under some Amazon influence, the ST board is aiming to go against their own staff recommendations for the CID station location. Apparently, Amazon is concerned about their drivers being slowed down by construction. Screw that!

Sound Transit is planning to present absurdly expensive and excessively displacing plans for Everett Link tomorrow to the board. All to, presumably, avoid taking even the tiniest slivers of space from cars. Please write the board or sign up to give comment at the meeting. Board email: emailtheboard@soundtransit.org
