Transit changes are coming to south King County: Metro wants your feedback on proposed route improvements
As Link light rail extends south, King County Metro’s South Link Connections mobility project is working to improve public transportation for communities in south King County.
We invite you to learn more about these proposed changes and take our survey by February 28.
In response to what we heard from community members in Algona, Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Kent, Normandy Park, Pacific, SeaTac, Tukwila, and parts of unincorporated King County, Metro is proposing several improvements to service and is seeking your input. Highlights of the proposed network include:
Adding new connections to future Link light rail stations.
Investing in bus routes that operate all day, every day, with 30% more early morning and, late-night trips on weekdays, and 53% more weekend trips.
New service on Saturdays and Sundays in Burien and new service on Sundays between Kent and Federal Way.
Enhancing important east-west routes across the area, including:
New frequent service connecting Highline College, Kent Station, and Green River College.
Frequent service between Twin Lakes Park & Ride, Downtown Federal Way Station and Auburn Station.
Launching two new Metro Flex on-demand pilot services in Federal Way and Auburn to connect more people to transit.
Updating bus routes between West Federal Way and Downtown Federal Way to make this connection quicker, more direct, and easier to navigate.
Removing some commuting routes between south King County and Downtown Seattle to:
Avoid overlapping services with Link light rail.
Reinvest resources from these routes to enhance the all-day services that connect to Link light rail.
Look for Metro out in your community or sign up to receive project alerts, where you can get information about open houses that will be taking place this winter.

King County Metro has second-fastest rider increase in U.S.
King County Metro has the second-largest rider increase in the country. The American Public Transportation Association (APTA) announced the results in its “Transit Wrapped 2024” report.
Among the nation’s large transit agencies—those with 50 million or more annual trips, Metro ranked second in the percentage ridership increase over the past year.
“More people are certainly choosing transit,” reacted King County Metro General Manager Michelle Allison. “Every week, more than 1.5 million people take Metro for appointments, education, entertainment, shopping and more. We’re ready to take people on even more trips to the people and places they care about in 2025.”
