More and more people are taking Link light rail to get around Puget Sound, to cheer on their favorite sports teams, or go to concerts and other events. So, here’s a good reminder that this is a shared space where thoughtfulness goes a long way—and that's exactly what our new "Be Mindful. Not a Monster" campaign is all about!
We're thrilled to introduce some quirky characters who you might have come in contact with during your travels.
The Boarding Blocker doesn't let riders exit before entering. This over-eager monster loves to charge onto the train without waiting for passengers to exit, turning every doorway into a game of Tetris.
Captain Bagspreader thinks empty seats are perfect for bags. This monster treats the empty seat next to them as prime real estate for their bags, leaving fellow riders standing awkwardly.
The Progress Preventer won't move to make space for others and is a master of taking up extra space and being a “roadblock” in crowded aisles.
This lighthearted campaign is here to spark smiles, start conversations, and encourage small habits that lead to smoother rides for everyone. You'll soon spot these fun-loving monsters around the transit system—on posters, screens, and even online—sharing gentle etiquette tips to make your commute a little kinder and a lot more enjoyable.
So, next time you're riding Link light rail, keep an eye out for these loveable monsters and their gentle reminders. After all, being a mindful rider makes the ride better for everyone.
