Fall Metro Transit Service Changes
Metro service changes are coming this fall.
Starting Sept. 2, King County Metro will update transit schedules to improve schedule reliability for riders and help reduce last-minute cancellations. To better match transit service with bus and workforce availability, Metro will suspend 20 peak-only commuter routes and reduce service on 12 routes. Alternatives are available for nearly all affected routes. Most riders will see no changes.
Highlights affecting Sammamish:
Route 269 and Sound Transit Route 554 are remaining as is.
Route 219 is still suspended.
