Starting Saturday, May 31, King County Metro Transit will make a few changes to bus routes to update bus service.

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 at www.kingcounty.gov/tripplanner. 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 at www.kingcounty.gov/metro. Or, call Metro Rider Information at (206) 553-3000.

Highlights of the upcoming service change include:

• There will be new boarding locations for Metro routes 200, 209, 210, 214, 269, 271, 927 and ST Express 554, 555 and 556 at the Issaquah Transit Center (formerly the Issaquah Park-and-Ride) located on State Route 900 between Maple Street and Newport Way. Starting May 31, passengers should board at the new transit platform located between the construction area and SR 900. Bus riders can still park at the Tibbetts Park-and-Ride south of Newport Way or in the interim lot on the west side of SR 900 until Sound Transit opens the new transit center garage later this summer.
