On Saturday, Sept. 19, Metro will adjust service on routes in Seattle and King County, however some routes and trips remain canceled for the foreseeable future due to ridership and financial realities. Metro transit planners have updated their tips and alternatives to help connect people to available public transportation options. Riders also can call customer service for trip planning assistance at 206-553-3000 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and Metro’s trip planner is available online.

We appreciate everyone continuing to follow the requirement to wear a mask on public transportation to limit the spread of COVID-19. Read more about our new safety partitions, mask availability and an overview of service change.
