Seattle’s World Cup Transit Triumph

Seattle crushed it hosting its first FIFA World Cup match, turning a packed stadium into a seamless transit experience. With 750,000 expected visitors, Sound Transit deployed hundreds of extra staff, ran trains every four minutes, and made fans feel like VIPs—some even joked it was overkill. Riders are directed to specific stations: Pioneer Square for north, Stadium Station for south, and International District/Chinatown for east. Bikes and scooters? Banned on light rail match days. King County Metro boosted bus routes, free shuttles linked Seattle Center to the stadium and waterfront spots, and ferries added staff and prioritized busy routes. Officials noted Monday’s crowd was less intense than the Seahawks Super Bowl parade but were fully prepared—plus, they’re monitoring heat to keep trains rolling.
