‘Great day to ride Metro’ as transit ridership grows

King County Metro is now serving 5 million riders per month as more people choose transit. On-demand services—such as Community Ride, Ride Pingo to Transit and Via to Transit—are delivering even more trips than before the pandemic. Every Washingtonian 18 and younger can now ride for free—and everyone can earn frequent rider points for taking transit, biking and scooting.

Last year, our popular “It’s a great day to ride Metro” campaign highlighted our many transit modes against the stunning backdrops of King County’s cities, farms, mountains and waterways. Our newest effort builds upon that success by welcoming more riders to transit and showing our community members spending time with the people they care about in the places they love.

Regardless of your destination, Metro strives to make your journey accessible, affordable, reliable, safe and stress-free. Thank you for riding!
