Seattle's iconic monorail service, halted because of COVID-19, running again

It's back.

In what could be a sign that things are starting to return to normal again in Seattle, the city's iconic monorail resumed service this week albeit with limited service hours and with safety measures in place to limit the spread of COVID-19.

According to a written statement from the agency, the service resumed Thursday with operating hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the weekends. Depending on how riders respond, the service could adjust its operating hours.

"After the first week, Seattle Monorail Services and Seattle Center will evaluate ridership usage to determine when to expand hours of service to better fit the needs of the community," a spokeswoman said in the statement. "It is anticipated that expanded hours of operation would still be constrained compared to normal hours of service for this time of the year but would provide greater accessibility to the system."
