TRANSIT FLY Review: While we at TransitFly.com can't wait to see the completion of the proposed SEA-TAC Airport Light Rail Line & Station that will serve the larger metropolitan area (currently scheduled for 2009) there are still many airport ground transportation options operating at Seattle / Tacoma International Airport that are quite good. For those heading to Downtown Seattle METRO offers four bus lines that offer frequent service from 4am - 2am during weekdays. Passengers with more luggage or heading to outlying areas should consider the numerous airport shuttle options that are available at SEA Airport. One that we at Transit Fly like is the Gray Line Downtown Airporter that operates 2x an hour to many Downtown Seattle hotels for only $11 ($18 round-trip). |
