King County Metro will continue to *suspend peak weekday routes 16, 232, 237, 301, 304 and 320 through Aug. 4* due to ongoing staff and bus availability. Some individual weekday bus trips also are canceled. Riders have alternatives available during these suspensions (listed below) and we will provide regular updates to keep you informed about your transit service and options.

Metro continues to shift buses among its seven bases to make repairs and maintain trip reliability across the county. Metro continues to train and hire bus operators and mechanics to deliver buses and transit services to your bus stop. Due to ongoing bus and staff availability challenges, summer service is likely to remain in the ongoing 95% range ? providing more than 10,600-weekday trips ? for several weeks while we repair and restore bus fleet for service. We encourage you to?sign up to receive transit alerts [ [link removed] ]?as intermittent trip cancellations or route suspensions can occur.
