Metro Transit Special Rider Alert, September 2003
Posted September 18, 2003
Major Bus Service Changes Begin Saturday, September 27, 2003
King County Metro Transit will initiate significant changes to its bus network, with particular emphasis in the northend of King County and the Federal Way area. These changes are designed to provide better overall bus service, and will allow us to serve more riders with existing resources.

Thank you for riding Metro. We appreciate serving you and are doing our best to provide you with timely, reliable bus service for your everyday transportation needs.

Buy a Metro bus pass
A Metro bus pass is your easiest way to travel. Buy yours at Metro's Customer Service offices at 201 S. Jackson St. in Pioneer Square; Westlake Station in the downtown tunnel, or on Metro Online.
Never Attempt to Board a Moving Bus
Bus drivers turn their attention to the road and traffic once the bus is moving. They may not be able to see you and you could be putting yourself and others at risk.
