Link light rail passengers just got a big improvement. On Tuesday, Sound Transit launched new real-time arrival information at light rail stations to provide more accurate arrival times. Digital LED message signs south of Capitol Hill Station have long been a feature at station platforms, but the information appearing on them has been less than useful with notification that a train will arrive in two minutes at best. Sound Transit has implemented the same estimated real-time information as has been available at University of Washington Station and Capitol Hill Station.
Counting down to next trips
The LED signs now display the time to the next three trips. They also are now capable of showing service incidents at individual stations or groupings of stations, according to Sound Transit.
