Curley's Wild Fix for Seattle Light Rail Fares

Seattle's light rail took the #1 spot in the country for ridership in April — 4.8 million trips. Impressive, right? Except… how many of those riders actually paid?

John Curley has a fix: no standing allowed, only fold-down seats that won't drop unless you swipe a valid fare card. No card? No seat. Out the back you go.

Listen to The John Curley Show every weekday at 3pm on KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM. Listen to KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM, or visit MyNorthwest.com to learn more!
