Waterfront Streetcar

Seattle is developing its own transit system. Currently Seattle operates a moderate sized Electric Trolley Bus system. Seattle has a underground bus tunnel using Hybrid buses. They use poles up in the tunnel and diesel outside the tunnel to serve the suburbs. There are plans to covert the bus tunnel into a Light Rail tunnel within the next few years. Seattle started Commuter rail service in 2000, dubbed the Sounder. 

Seattle is well known for the monorail that links the Space Needle with Westlake section of downtown. There is also the waterfront streetcar which links the International district with the waterfront.

Light rail is currently under construction from downtown towards the airport. Construction has also begun on the Lake Union Streetcar.
