Weekend Kickoff
King County Metro continues minor service reductions
 King County Metro continues to recover from recent winter storms and ongoing reduced workforce availability. While more than 90% of Metro’s scheduled bus service is on the road, we are extending our temporary reduced service schedule and canceling some bus trips.
Before traveling, please allow for additional travel time and use Metro’s real-time travel tools to confirm whether your trip is operating or canceled. (See “Trip planning tools”)
Earlier this month, Metro first announced a temporary service reduction due to recovery and workforce availability challenges. While some individual trips will continue to be canceled, nearly all of Metro’s 160 bus routes will operate on weekdays and weekends. The exceptions during this recovery period are that routes 162, 177, 304, 320, and 330 will not operate on weekdays, and route 125 will not operate on Saturdays.
Metro is closely monitoring the situation and will reassess whether it is able to restore canceled bus trips in the coming weeks. Whether you are taking an earlier or later bus than usual, or are making an alternative travel plan, we apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience as our workforce stabilizes.

Riders should prepare for expected travel delays on RapidRide C Line and routes 21, 50, and 120 on Sunday Jan. 16 due to brief closures of the lower West Seattle Bridge. These closures are for scheduled measurements of the bridge by the City of Seattle.

The scheduled closure times are during lulls in traffic around 9 a.m., 1 p.m., and 5 p.m.
The Seattle Department of Transportation has announced the planned dates for these Sunday lower bridge closures: Dec. 19, Jan. 9, Jan. 16, Jan. 23, Jan. 30.
