Do you take the cap to downtown? If so, why do you take a cab over the Link?

I have taken a cab ones, but to Fauntleroy, and I was missing a ferry (which I missed anyway because the driver took a weird way). However, the transit options to West Seattle aren’t nearly as good as to downtown though.

Cabs/Ubers/etc are too expensive to use daily, but for a one time thing (such as flying into an airport), it's so much less stressful than trying to deal with public transportation.

I'll give an exception to certain cities that have superb transit options, but none of those cities are in the US.

The transit option between SeaTac and Downtown Seattle is superb. I admit it can be improved (e.g. you have to walk through the parking garage to the station, and it is a bit slow going through Rainier valley) but for 2.50 USD it is the best option going from SeaTac to Downtown.

I still take link because it is so cheap, but I've experienced 25+ min delays (between the bus and link).
