King County Metro launches its spring service change Saturday, March 18, with all routes operating and H Line joining the growing RapidRide family. Thank you, Route 120, for serving the community as a workhorse route all these years!
Metro will operate all bus routes Monday, March 20, through Sunday, March 26, although some individual weekday bus trips will be canceled. All weekend routes and trips are expected to operate as scheduled.
Fleet repairs continue and our maintenance crews are focused on returning buses to service, as well as working with vendors to stabilize the supply chain challenges affecting our industry. We appreciate your patience while we complete this important work. We also continue to face workforce availability challenges and are actively recruiting, training and promoting operators to deliver our service.
Before traveling, please review our service advisories and use our travel tools (both below) to see whether your trip is operating. To support riders better, we also are sending email and text Transit Alerts in advance in cases where there are known, recurring canceled trips.
