Seattle, All Star Baseball Game, free transit throughout the city and metropolitan area

 Just the other day, "Desperate times sometimes lead to a more marketing-oriented guise: WMATA/Metrorail | Bonus: WMATA's financial crisis," discussed special event transportation, and how WMATA in DC provided free transit starting the evening of July 4th, to facilitate movement to and from fireworks displays.

Yesterday and today are the primary days of activities around the Baseball All Star Game, which this year is in Seattle.  According to The Center Square ("Seattle public transit free Monday and Tuesday for MLB All Star game"):

This fare-free period applies to the following services in the region; 

• Access Paratransit 
• King County Water Taxi, Metro and RapidRide Buses
• Metro Flex on-demand Services 
• Sound Transit Link light rail 
• Seattle Streetcars 
• Kitsap Transit Buses 
• Kitsap Fast Ferry

Notably excluded from the free fare period for the region are Pierce Transit, Community Transit, and the Seattle Center Monorail, which will continue to charge riders on July 10 and 11.

In February, Utah Transit Authority provided free transit days around the NBA All Star Game, and for an outdoor music festival in May.
