Metro adding more buses to key Seattle routes

SEATTLE — Metro is adding bus trips at “key times” to popular Seattle routes.

Starting on Monday, April 11, more trips will be available on routes 28X, 62 and 373.

The additions hope to alleviate crowding during peak commute times and to offer a new morning trip better connecting riders with the University District and Link light rail at the UW.

"Tens of thousands of riders are using the new, revised transit network to commute, travel between neighborhoods and make connections to Link light rail every day," said Rob Gannon, Metro Transit interim general manager. "After launching these changes, we are closely monitoring how the service is working for our customers, and based on feedback from riders and planners, adding targeted trips to help ease crowding and make for a better rider experience. We'll continue to monitor and listen to customer feedback, and fully expect ridership to continue to grow."

Route 373 will have one additional trip, at 5:45 a.m. to better connect with Link.
