Bus schedule, routing, and stop changes arrive
Saturday
Metro adjusts its routes and scheduling three times a year in February, June and September to improve service and keep up with the changing needs of transit passengers. All of the changes are detailed in new bright green Metro timetables and a special Rider Alert brochure. Look for them on buses in the racks near the front of the coach. The brochures and timetables are also available at Metro information racks, libraries, and work sites. The new schedule information is now available in Metro’s online Trip Planner. Be sure to enter a travel date of May 31 or later to access the new information. The revised route schedules will be available on Metro Online on Friday, May 30. Or, call Metro Rider Information at (206) 553-3000. Highlights of the upcoming service change include:
• Local service on Route 74 connecting the Seattle Center to Sand Point via the University District will be renumbered as Metro Route 30. The Route 74 Express that serves downtown Seattle stays the same, and there will be no change to routing or frequency of either the new Route 30 or the Route 74 Express. • A new trip on Route 212 will leave the Eastgate Park-and-Ride at 4:30 p.m. on weekdays to connect with southbound Sounder train service that leaves Seattle at 5:15 p.m. • There will be an additional late-evening northbound trip on Route 221 leaving Eastgate at 10:11 p.m.; • The bus stop for Route 358 at the south end of downtown Seattle is moving to westbound South Jackson Street between Fourth and Fifth avenues. The route will no longer stop eastbound on South Main Street at Second Avenue South; • DART Routes 914 and 916 will no longer serve Bay 5 at the Kent Station Transit Center. Instead, passengers can board them adjacent to the transit center on westbound Temperance Street between First Avenue North and Ramsay Way. Sometimes people need more than just bus service. That’s where Rideshare Services can help by providing resources for carpooling, vanpooling or vansharing. Carpooling and vanpooling match people traveling to common destinations. VanShare helps those who need to make a connection to or from bus service. You can VanShare from home and connect to your bus, or use VanShare from the bus stop or park-and-ride lot to complete a trip to work. |
