Survey: Metro considers changes to Mercer Island bus routes 201 and 204

Metro considers changes to bus routes 201 and 204 on Mercer Island

Should we delete Route 201 and add Saturday service to Route 204?

Take our survey (open through June 24)

So few people are riding Route 201 that the route doesn’t meet our minimum requirements for bus service. At the same time, Mercer Island has no bus service on Saturday. So we propose to delete Route 201, and all of the stops it serves, next spring. We could then use some of its resources to create Saturday service on Route 204.

Alternative options for Route 201 riders

if we delete Route 201, its riders could use ridesharing (VanPool, Carpool) or use a first-mile/last-mile pilot program that provides rides via Uber and Lyft.

What do you think?

How would these proposed changes affect you? Please take our online survey by June 24.
