King County Metro Transit reminds riders to review schedules for their routes as buses will operate on Sunday and reduced weekday service over the coming holiday weeks. The King County Water Taxi also has schedule changes on holidays.
Details are posted on Metro’s holiday and reduced service page. Under a Community Mobility Contract created by County Executive Constantine and funded by voter-approved Prop 1, regular bus service will be provided on about three dozen routes within the City of Seattle that were previously reduced during holiday periods.
Metro offices, including the Customer Information center, the Lost and Found and Pass Sales counters, will be closed on Dec. 25 and Jan. 1. The Customer Information center at 206-553-3000 will reopen on the Monday morning following each holiday.
