Trains at rush hour, both AM and PM, are already dangerously over-crowded going into downtown from the south. I do it every day and it sucks. I'm no transit engineer, but if the time between trains doubles, the number of bodies double. I can stand inconvenience (e.g., longer wait times, transfers), but this just sounds dangerous. It's much worse now than when the Seattle Times covered the issue 3 years ago. Not hyperbolic in the least.
Bike commuters will welcome the opportunity to moan about how much more difficult it is for them, even if they won't admit it.
"Capitol Hill"
@3: She made a pun, not a typo.
@4: Yeah. I guess that's why she fixed it.
There's a streetcar.
Use it.
No seriously, it takes you from the Cap Hill station to just past the ID station

@7 All trains will have 4 cars, so the number of bodies will double but there will be 33% more space.
