U-Pass

Each Student can use the King County Metro for free, but only a handful of non-commuters do. Which is a shame. The KC Metro is typical Public transportation (crowded, people that smell like urine, late buses) for the most part. HOWEVER, once one gets to the Downtown area, the Rapid Transit Trains become an option, and those things rule. They run from SeaTac Airport to Downtown, and will reach campus by 2016.

University of Washington Transportation

At the University of Washington, all students are required to by a quarterly bus pass. This bus pass guarantees travel anywhere in Seattle on the Seattle bus system. Although inconvenient that the bus system is mandatory, the bus pass is definitely a very convenient thing to have. For students, riding the bus is a much safer and cheaper alternative to owning their own car. The bus pass also covers transportation on the light rail which is a train system that runs on sky rails. Overall the transportation system here at the University of Washington is excellent.

Good Public Transportation

Public transportation is pretty good, there are buses and bus stop everywhere. Students get a mandatory U-PASS which is a little overpriced but gets them anywhere they want to go.
