Link Light Rail is a light rail system serving the Seattle metropolitan area and operated by Sound Transit. The network consists of nineteen stations on two lines: thirteen on Central Link and six on Tacoma Link. Link stations are located within four cities in King and Pierce counties: eleven in Seattle, five in Tacoma, one in SeaTac and one in Tukwila. The two lines had a combined average weekday ridership of 36,167 in 2014, making Link the sixteenth-busiest light rail system in the United States. The busiest station by daily ridership is Westlake in Seattle, while the least busiest is Union Station/South 19th Street in Tacoma. Link began service on August 23, 2003 with the opening of Tacoma Link and its five stations. Central Link, unconnected from the existing Tacoma Link line, was opened from Seattle to Tukwila on July 18, 2009 and later extended to the Seattle–Tacoma International Airport on December 19, 2009. The first infill station of the Link system, Commerce Street/South 11th Street on Tacoma Link, opened on September 15, 2011. Sound Transit is building three extensions to Central Link serving six new stations in Seattle and SeaTac scheduled to open by 2021; further extensions of Central Link to Lynnwood, Bellevue, and Federal Way were approved in a 2008 ballot measure are planned to open by 2023.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.soundtransit.org/About-Sound-Transit/News-and-events/Reports/2008 )〕 An extension to Tacoma Link from Downtown Tacoma to the Hilltop neighborhood was also approved and is undergoing planning and review. All stations include works of public art as part of the "STart" program, which requires one percent of station construction funds go to art installations. The stations are named in accordance to facility naming guidelines that include using surrounding neighborhoods and street names, avoiding words used by existing facility names, and being limited to 30 characters in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Stations are also identified by simple pictograms, known as "''Stellar Connections''", that are used in station signage, maps and other printed materials as a wayfinding aid; the icons are composed of points that correspond with local landmarks near Link stations, while also forming a picture that represents the station's identity. ==Stations== File:Stadium Station ORCA readers.jpg|Stadium Station platform File:Wet Mount Baker Station platform.jpg|Mount Baker Station platform level File:SeaTac Airport Station, from International Boulevard.jpg|Exterior of SeaTac/Airport Station 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Link Light Rail stations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
