Another design option. Simplifies the graphic and emphasizes the pictogram. Thoughts?

How about a Metro version?

Question: would folks be interested in a line of tote bags with ST station signs on them? If so, do you prefer the old style (old font and pictograms) or the newer style (net font and station codes)?

Here's the final African metro. Definitely not enough trains for one of the fastest growing cities in the world!

The second African metro is on the Mediterranean coast. Can you name this metro?

Africa is home to only 3 metros currently. Can you name them? Here's number one.

Hilary was amazing. But can we talk about what a cluster it is to have a 16,000 seat amphitheater in the exurbs on a 2 lane road...?

So incredibly proud of the work we did to prepare and deliver for the world while maintaining service for our everyday riders. I worked with ST, CT, PT, Kitsap, WSFerries, SDOT, Monorail, Port of SEA, and more to get this done. All were AMAZING. I love my job!

A graph showing the ridership of each transit mode for each match day. Total transit ridership (Sound Transit and King County Metro) for each match day is: 529,762, 601,651, 549,959, 541,867, 573,253, and 648,878 for a grand total of 3,445,370 across all 6 match days!

New crosswalk and bump out? Hell yeah, @seattledot.bsky.social!

Final entry in this Eastern European round of Name! That! Metro! For this one, we're going to the Balkans (debatably culturally at least). What is this metro?
