Fourth of July: Plan transit to celebrations, parades and fireworks!
With so much going on around the region this coming weekend, culminating with?nighttime fireworks displays [ [link removed] ]?expected to draw thousands, it?s a good idea to plan ahead and travel with Metro!
Many areas may experience planned reroutes, or congestion and delays due to extra riders, street closures and traffic associated with community celebrations throughout the service area.?*Please allow extra time for travel*. For information about reroutes, visit our?Service Advisories page [ [link removed] ]?and use?Metro?s Trip Planner [ [link removed] ]?to get ready to travel.

Bus only lanes being added to Rainier Ave S. to increase reliability and save time
Metro coach signed up as Route 7 travleling down Rainier Avenue
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) will be creating more bus-only lanes along the Rainier Avenue corridor. *Scheduled to start in July*, the lanes are being put in place to help keep people riding transit moving more reliably by separating buses from other vehicles. Especially in heavy traffic, bus-only lanes reduce travel times for people riding transit.
Learn about the types of bus-only lanes, including who can use them and other details, on SDOT's?transit lane webpage [ [link removed] ].
