King County Metro’s ‘24/7’ commitment to bus shelter cleaning
Text: Metro's 24/7 Cleaning Team and images of stops being cleaned
At King County Metro, we know the importance to our riders of a clean and inviting bus stop. That’s why we’ve moved our cleaning teams to around-the-clock service, introduced a cool new tool to scrub sidewalks and are transitioning to clear polycarbonate in many of our bus shelters.
*Cleaning around the clock*
Metro Facilities Superintendent Jose Reyna and his teams are pleased to now provide shelter cleaning for three, eight-hour shifts per day.
“Metro upgrading to more frequent cleanings of bus shelters lets us respond more quickly,” Reyna said. “Also, we will have more intense cleaning coverage on weekends. We’re definitely stepping up our service.”
As always, reports from riders help Metro ensure we’re always providing high-quality transit service. Visit Bus Stop/Shelter Feedback – King County Metro Transit [ [link removed] ] or call 206-553-3000 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
