Seattle Electric car load doubles seating limits on Green Lake line
A Seattle Star letter claims cars on the Green Lake line were sent to the barn for economy, producing double the seating load and denying proper public service. The writer cites 82 fares recorded on one car when seats total 48, plus transfers at Fremont, and urges public accountability from the utility and franchise holder. He notes prior instances of delayed inbound service to catch transfers and questions the franchise’s impact on riders.
