King County Metro continues to deliver about 95% of our typical 11,000 weekday trips with only routes 301 and 304 temporarily suspended and some trip cancellations expected Jan. 16-20. We continue to make progress on fleet repairs and appreciate your patience while we complete this important work.
Before traveling, please review our service advisories, use the real-time tools below to see whether your trip is operating, and review our list of alternative routes (also below) for temporarily suspended routes 301 and 304. Due to the fluid nature of the situation, a small number of trips may run on routes that are temporarily suspended.
