Need a free ride from the airport to Seattle?

kikikat

Hi, I am Kiki and I just wanted to let you guys know that if you are arriving for PAX on Thursday the 3rd, my fellow BTG'er is offering FREE rides from the airport to Seattle. It's a pretty cool deal, there are no strings attached, he just wanted to help people save a few dollars for cab rides etc. Check it out at:

Thanks!

Cool beans. Good show.

Also, the city bus can take you right downtown to the convention centre for a mere $1.25.

Takes about 20 minutes.

kikikat

And the city bus would probably be a lot safer. CrazyEcho lives up to his name when driving! But.... it would defnitely be a lot more entertaining

Lokiale

Buses are boring... car rides from random community members sounds like much more fun. You guys are awesome for offering this up

Hicks

Shit, take the metro down the road to Tukwilla and ride the Lightrail the whole way. Great views - cheap, fast, and not boring.

You dont even have to do that, theres a free connector shuttle to the light rail tukwilla station right outside baggage claim @ the airport

kikikat

Hey guys. Not saying this was the only alternative. We just thought it would be something fun to do 'cause we are big time PAX fans

Taking luggage on public transportation can kinda suck, especially if it's full.

Hicks

The light rail is hella roomy and I've never seen it full.

LoL! Dude, if you weren't local I would suggest you take the light rail

Seriously though, it is just a way to meet new people, help people save money (even if it is just a buck twenty five!), and just have a fun kick-off to PAX.

PAX is all about the community to me. I moved from AZ to WA last year and without the people I have met at PAX over the years, who live locally, it would have been a lot scarier.

Anyway.. maybe we will run in to each other at the convention, I will most likely be one of those annoying people saying hi to strangers and making new friends

kikikat,

I just want to say that this is a very cool service that your friend is offering. It's a great way to help out PAX-goers and build the community. If I didn't live in Redmond and work in Sammamish I would probably take you up on the offer.

That being said, I've been meaning to try out the new light rail but I haven't had a reason to yet. I wish it came out to the east side already.

I take it fairly regularly as I have an ORCA card - easily twice as roomy as KCMetro or ST busses.

Good for you! But this thread is more for people who don't live in the city and don't have ORCA cards and are looking for a fun way to get from the airport to Seattle at no cost.

But thanks for your input! It helps people to know that they have more than one option for transportation in this wonderful state

Exactly.
And one of those options happens to be a free shuttle from the airport to the Light Rail terminal followed by a traffic free scenic ride on the jewel of King County Metro's eye straight to downtown Seattle a block from PAX and all the major hotels. Total cost less than an average coffee.

Not to mention the multiple alternative options you wonderful people have already pointed out in this thread.

A veritable cornucopia of information.

Woah woah woah Lady.

I'm just pointing out the viability of dirt cheap alternatives.
I won't deny that I'm proud of the new light rail, but I posted here to point out that if for some reason they can't get a free ride with the taxi they can get damn close with Metro's new toys.

kikikat

Yes, and you have said that in numerous posts that's why I asked you to please stop. We get the point, man.

This post wasn't created to discuss modes of transportation, there probably are a bunch of posts about that (if not, you could probably create one yourself). This was one just to tell about a cool thing a friend of mine is doing, that is all. if you are intersted or have a comment related to that, please post, otherwise keep the spam elsewhere.

Thanks.

Coldbrew

What a generous offer of free taxi rides! And... It's good to know of the alternatives too, I guess.

But...

Dammit Hicks, get out of our threads and go finish up the PAX08 DVD! :P

NO BRAKES!

I dunno if I'd consider it spam, I mean there were others in the thread discussing it before I joined the conversation. Even after that, I was really just discussing it with you.

Anyways.. Free taxis are awesome!

Sorry bud Post Production isen't my game. I'm waiting just like you.

Arco

Wow. The OP and a friend offer up free rides to from the airport, no strings attached, and the thread gets clogged up with shit about how cheap and awesome the other options are? What the hell?

I'm coming in on the PAXtrain Thursday night, but if I were flying in, I'd absolutely take you up on this, kikikat. What you and your friend are doing is awesome, and it's yet another reason why the PAX community is one of the most kickass communities of like-minded people around. Keep on doing what you're doing!

Zine

This is freaking awesome. Thanks for the info!

Fix'd.

Yes things did get a bit out of hand though, and I would definitely accept the offer as well if I were not local, but I have some friends that may be flying in on Thursday, so if they do I will refer them here.

tek

Like Arco, I'm on the WCTT, but I've passed this thread along to a couple friends who are supposed to be flying in, if they don't bail...lol

Also, you might consider editing the subject to reflect [PRIME] so it's consistent with the other threads in the forum.

cocowoushi

Hi Kiki! I think I'm going to have to take you up on this offer! I don't normally take public transportation so taking shuttles and busses are confusing to me if I don't know the area. Once I get home and double check all my fight info I'll fill out the form.

Thanks a lot for this offer.

Ahh thanks.. I didn't know about the PRIME tag. I am a noOb to these here parts

I am glad you guys like the offer and I hope to meet a lot of you this year!

rath

Hey thanks for this awesome offer of uh... awesomeness! I had a question before I signed up, there's going to be 4 of us in my group. Will Crazy's taxi have enough seating for all of us or do we need to split it up into two trips?

kikikat

I believe he is renting a car ... if not, he has an Element and while it is far from the sexiest of cars (really far from sexy and falling into ugly), it has lots of room so you should be all set for one trip

CrazyEcho

My car may not be the "Sexiest" thing out there. I can carry up to 3 passengers. As of now, i don't have a group over 3 people signed up for a trip. So no need to rent something bigger just yet. The people who signed up will have priority pick up.

orbdep

Well, My wife and I are actually showing up sunday, so we can't take you up on it, but I think this is a totally awesome thing you guys are doing, and I hope a lot of folks take advantage of the chance to meet new people!

proXimity

Bumping this because I see people asking about transportation from the airport on Thursday

cocowoushi

Hey there Kiki. I signed up at the site and I got an email asking me to confirm my flight times, which I did. I was just wondering if I was going to be able to get Crazy's number or something to contact him if I land and he's already out shuttling someone. So that I know to wait or what. XD;

kikikat

Yeah, just drop him a note at daniel@breakingthegame.com and ask for his contact info

See ya at PAX!

Hi, I just noticed this thread and I just want to say on behalf of us foreigners that this is a very neighborly thing to do. Kudos to you and your team.

...
P.S. If you are actually an axe murderer please disregard the above statement.

nfs army ipods

i would do it but i live least then 10 minutes form the airport

mydunpeal

Is the taxi service still being offered or is it booked full? My flight arrives at about 10am and this is my first time traveling alone. I'm afraid of being lost and end up walking from the airport to my hotel. ACK

Fill out the form on the site and they should send you a confirmation email about your flight times coming in. Better do it soon so they know well enough ahead of time!

kikikat

Just wanted to let you guys know that I don't think I mentioned that CrazyEcho will have a camera set up and is filming the rides. SO make sure to check out the video at www.breakingthegame.com. We already have one posted... hopefully you guys have a blast and we get to see some taxi cab confessions type videos!

Lokiale

So there is a catch! Haha I kid, that's awesome.
