Weekend Kickoff
King County Metro continues minor service reductions
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.
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. Check out the Metro Matters blog for transit alternatives for routes that have been temporarily suspended.
Metro is closely monitoring the situation and will reassess whether it is able to restore canceled bus trips in the coming weeks. We apologize for the inconvenience and greatly appreciate your patience as our workforce stabilizes.
