Later developmentsedit
The city of Seattle made major improvements to the RapidRide C and D lines after their opening with funds generated by Proposition 1 (which increased sales tax by 0.1 percent and imposes a $60 annual car-tab fee).[7]
The first improvements came in June 2015 when headways on the RapidRide C and D lines were decreased. Buses will arrive every 7–8 minutes during weekday rush hour, every 12 minutes during the midday hours on weekdays, every 12 minutes during the daytime on Saturday and every 15 minutes on Sunday and during weekday and weekend nights.[8][9]
In March 2016, the city split the previously interlined RapidRide C and D lines apart after the successful passage of additional funding for the two routes.[7] C Line buses now continue north through parts of Belltown and onto Westlake Avenue in the South Lake Union neighborhood,[10] terminating on Valley Street near the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center campus. D Line buses instead continue south on 3rd Avenue into Pioneer Square, using layover space on 5th Avenue south of Terrace Street.[11]
