It has 2 stations total and was never meant to be actual transit. After our visit to the Space Needle, my partner and I took this 1.2-mile elevated train system and got off Westlake for our next attraction, Pike Public Market. It saved quite a bit of walking with one-way $4. It is an iconic, historic piece of Seattle and still serves to connect downtown with the Seattle Center 60+ years later.

Connecting the busy Westlake light rail station to the touristy Seattle Center in downtown, the…read moreSeattle Monorail is 0.9 miles long, traveling on an elevated track, with the endpoints being the only stops. It takes about 3 minutes to travel between, costs $4 per one-way ride, and operates every 10 minutes. My wife and I took it twice during our one night trip to Seattle, and it was a good way to cut off a bit of a walk traveling from/to the airport and our hotel located at the Seattle Center. The monorail system was built in 1962 to take visitors to the World's Fair, which was being held at what is today the Seattle Center. It consists of 2 parallel single rail tracks, each with one train. After each 3 minute journey, the conductor has to walk the length of the train to get to the other forward facing 'locomotive' car, so there is a bit of time between the train arriving and the train leaving again (in the opposite direction). The two trains (Blue and Red) can run concurrently (often during high traffic times like during a Kraken hockey game), but I've only seen one of them run at a time. The space between the two tracks are where people boarding the train must wait, entering this space using an Orca card (tap-to-pay has yet to be implemented). There are no discounts for transfers to other Orca enabled transit. There is one seat on the locomotive car right next to the conductor, providing an unobstructed view facing forward. Would highly recommend doing that if riding it for the first time. It was my 4th time riding, but 1st time on that seat. Spoke to the conductor a little, and learned that for her, it's 42 round trips a day during her shift. Also noticed that the train passes right by the upper level windows of the Hyatt House hotel, so imaging guests in those rooms could get a cool view of the train as it zipped by.

Called these guys this morning after striking out with Crown Black Car…read more They answered the phone and said that they wanted a flat rate and then some "fuel surcharge" totaling something like $75 to get me to the airport. They then jabbered loudly to each other in some Slavic or maybe Persian sounding language for about 45 seconds before getting back to me. I'm not sure if they wanted me to haggle with them or something. I have better things to do with my time. I told them not to bother, and just called for a normal cab which was available in 5 minutes, were happy and polite, and less than half the cost. Car service is cool if it is somewhat competitive. I just want something reliable and not an obnoxious experience. I guess I'll be sticking with the cabs for now.

So we hired a towncar from this company around mid day. As the day progressed and blizzard conditions worsened we were concerned that our friends might end up stranded. Although the driver has some issues reaching the airport due to road closures, he was extremely communicative. Calling us every half hour to assure us that he as on his way. And although my friends flight was a bit late landing he was at the baggage claim for them with sign in hand. My friends raved about their driver Paul. He was ex-Russian military stationed in Siberia. Exactly the person you would want driving you on Seattle's snowy hills. And although he had hundreds of dollars offered to him from several of the 200 people waiting for the 1 cab at the airport, he still proceeded to pick up my friends. Just an all around amazing guy working for a great company. Thank you for taking care of two of our most favorite people in the world and getting them to us safe and sound.

So if one said "Town Car Services" does one imagine a guy with a suit standing in the arrivals area with a sign with your name on it? Oh, but you would be mistaken, because I looked for that guy and he was not there. Then I called them, said they would meet me at the curb as I schelped my luggage and my 7 year old as we searched and searched for a ride. Some 15-20 mins after my call I called again, "Oh he's on his way". We were transported without incident. When we got there, he was seeking payment. I advised him our travel agent had taken care of it. But he wanted to call the office and find out if we had paid. We left and went to check in to our hotel. Checked back later and he was gone.

I'm very surprised that they've not been reviewed here as they've won several "best of" type awards. Saleem is a great guy and everyone on his staff is great as well. The cars are always high-quality, clean and well-driven. The drivers know where you're going and allow you to work, read, veg out or doze off as you see fit. They'll often have a bottle of water for you. And the pick-ups at the airport are always quick and easy after you get your bags. The point of a town car service is to make your life a little more pleasant than a cab. I think the price that Stars VIP charges is comparable to a cab ride. Why wouldn't you take a town car instead? PS - On a whim I asked Saleem if he'd donate some of his services to a cancer research fundraising auction for the Fred Hutch I was working on. He did so without hesitation and was happy to help.
