    Too bad citizens let big business kill the extention of monorail in Seattle, would really open up the city for residents. Monorail is free of traffic and could be a really speedy way to get around.

    Quick ride to the space needle or back to Westlake area (near the ferry). Avoid walking or ride-sharing all the way back to catch the boats

    A decades old idea of modernity. Still looks new whilst looking old at the same time. If that makes sense.

    Now part of ORCA!!! 🎉🐳 Finally, you can tap to ride as of October 2019!!! Otherwise, it’s cash-only (as it was for everyone before) so come prepared!

    Cheap way to get into downtown. Cabs will "forget" to run the meter, take the monorail. Cash only

    Did you know? The monorail was built for the 1962 World’s Fair, part of a U.S. response to the launch of Sputnik intended to show the nation was not technologically behind the Soviet Union. Read more

    Don't ride the monorail just for the fun factor. Take it to go from downtown to the Seattle Center. It's $2 for a 90 second trip. I see tourist who are disappointed by this thing everyday.

    The trip is not worth the price, but it's an easy access to downtown Seattle. (Round-trip $4.50; cash only)

    I think it needs to be further developed to commute within Seattle downtown

    Jayme the Attendant in the morning who does the Tour Guide bit in his sultry radio voice is the best.

    Despite being constantly referenced as a Seattle transit provider, they do not take ORCA.

    Pointless. Only two stops, both of which are designed for tourists. One of the stops is soon to feature nothing but glass sculptures by an overrated artist.

    Don't sing the "monorail" song from The Simpson whilst riding - that's seriously played out by now.
