The only reason to do this is if you just miss the 560 and have to wait leslie i’m not sure what you are talking about, the 550 does NOT have level boarding.

The bus and the rail all have level boarding, so no lugging suitcases up and down, and compared to either taxi or parking, it's nearly free. Been a long time coming, and can't wait to travel this way! Using the 550 to seattle and the new “all-the-way-to-the-airport” light rail makes so much more sense.

Onsite is 4 days. Drives me insane that taxi drivers don't know where they are going. This is your livelihood, invest $99 on a GPS for god's sake. Now if I could only bring myself to walk to the transit center I would be on a winner. I travel to the airport often and always weigh up offsite parking costs against taxi, break even is 10 days.

I can't imagine dragging my family up and down the bus with all our suitcases. It is a good idea if you are the only one traveling.

The line extension that will go all the way to Sea-Tac airport will be opening on Saturday, December 19!
