With investments by Amazon and City of Seattle, King County Metro will offer
more frequent, reliable service on some of its most popular routes

King County Metro will offer more frequent and reliable bus service on some
of its most popular routes beginning this fall thanks to significant
investments by Amazon and the City of Seattle.

Amazon's investment will provide 22 additional weekday trips for two years
across some of Metro's busiest routes serving West Seattle, Shoreline,
Ballard, and Capitol Hill. The additional service provides room for roughly
1,700 weekday boardings, and includes the RapidRide E Line and C Line, and
Routes 8, 40, 62, and 63.

The additional service hours will be part of Metro's September service
change, which will add 88,000 service hours annually on more than 50 bus
routes. This includes 20,000 hours under a separate partnership with the
City of Seattle, thanks to the 2014 Seattle Transportation Benefit District.

Error! Filename not specified."We will provide faster, more reliable transit
service on some of our most popular routes, thanks to our partnerships with
Amazon and the City of Seattle," said King County Executive Dow Constantine.
"Demand for transit continues to grow throughout our region, and we are
stepping up to deliver."
