Metro buses switch to holiday, reduced schedules next week

Wednesday, December 19, 2012


Reduced and holiday schedules: Dec. 24-28, Dec. 31, Jan. 1

King County Metro Transit will be operating on holiday and reduced weekday schedules Christmas week and during the New Year’s holidays.

On Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, Metro will operate a reduced weekday bus service, and on Christmas Day, Dec. 25, will operate buses on a Sunday schedule. Transit also will be on reduced weekday service during the “winter holiday period” Dec. 26-28. Details are posted on Metro’s holiday and reduced service page and in route timetables.

You can sign up for rider alerts here.

Using a limited schedule over holiday periods from November through January is estimated to save Metro about $1 million each year. These are planned reductions for holiday periods when Metro has historically seen a reduction in the number of weekday riders – estimated to be 15 percent or more systemwide.

Sunday schedules will be in effect on the following holidays:
  • Tuesday, Dec. 25 – Christmas
  • Tuesday, Jan. 1 – New Year’s Day
The reduced weekday schedule will be in effect on:
  • Monday, Dec. 24 – Christmas Eve
  • Wednesday-Friday, Dec. 26-28  – winter holiday period
  • Monday, Dec. 31 – New Year’s Eve
  • Monday, Jan. 21 – Martin Luther King Jr. Day
 An overview of all Metro holiday service is online. Visit Metro Online for more information, or call the Customer Information Office at 206-553-3000.
