Metro gives out five million masks

Thank you x 5,000,000 for continuing to mask up on Metro to keep our community safe.

Please bring and wear your mask when you ride transit. If you don't have one handy, look for mask dispensers inside buses, streetcars, trains, and at the water taxi dock.

Metro's updated playbook to boost speed and reliability of buses

It’s not magic. Behind the scenes, cities have been teaming up with Metro planners to invest in targeted improvements that make bus service better. With help from local cities and the state, we’ve updated and published our playbook for the world: Metro’s 2021 Transit Speed & Reliability Guidelines and Strategies.

Expanded red transit lanes and more green traffic lights for buses across King County these days are making traveling by bus swifter and more reliable than ever.

Check out our Metro Matters blog for more information. 

Walk Safe Tips

This weekend's sunset: 4:36 p.m. Our operators are looking out for you. To help them spot you as the bus approaches, wave something bright like your phone or a flashlight. #WalkSafe Find more safety tips at http://kingcounty.gov/metro/safety.
