Link is hitting them numbers.

In April 2016, the first full month after Link opened two new stations (University of Washington Station and Capitol Hill Station), boardings increased, when compared to last year, by 79 percent. Was this just stupid excitement? Would things cool down? Would the city get its senses back and become upset about all that money Sound Transit spends to market its services? The ridership data from May 2016, which was released today, says such is not at all the case. In May, Link's weekday boardings rose a stunning 83%. That's 805K additional boardings. With numbers like these, expect not only the character of the city's modes of transportation to change but the character of the city itself.
