The Seattle Times recently applauded the new contract between the Port of Seattle and Yellow Cab to operate taxis from the airport. It’s an exclusive contract, one that has the commenters at the Times up in arms about anticompetitiveness.
But lo and behold, with the opening of Airport Link, the exclusive contract may be less of a deal than it used to be. Over at Slog, Charles Mudede notices that cabs are lining up outside Link stations downtown, which makes perfect sense: use Link to get downtown, and then a cab to get you the last few miles to your destination.
Link will alter the dynamic of the city in ways we still haven’t imagined. It’s fascinating to witness.
