[NFBSea] NEWS: Executive Constantine and King County Metro announce launch of Metro Flex combined on-demand transit services

Wed Mar 1 01:53:04 UTC 2023

Hello and thanks so much Noel for this information! It seems like a good opportunity to get around more easily. I am wondering if it would work pretty much like the way Uber and Lyft work, where I just schedule a  ride through their app and a bus would pull up near my location?
I shall download the app and try it out for myself and then report back:

King County Executive Dow Constantine and Metro Transit announced the launch of Metro Flex<https://lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJidWxsZXRpbl9saW5rX2lkIjoxMDEsInVyaSI6ImJwMjpjbGljayIsImJ1bGxldGluX2lkIjoiMjAyMzAyMjguNzI0NDM3ODEiLCJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2tpbmdjb3VudHkuZ292L2VsZWN0ZWQvZXhlY3V0aXZlL2NvbnN0YW50aW5lL25ld3MvcmVsZWFzZS8yMDIzL0ZlYnJ1YXJ5LzI4LW1ldHJvLWZsZXguYXNweCJ9.GFDvicejhdIytnlYdIy1QkOq29x3OSsy2OVIN2Ut6jM/s/9201970/br/155277900157-l> (powered by TransitTech provider Via) — a new on-demand neighborhood transit service uniting three current services: Community Ride, Ride Pingo to Transit, and Via to Transit. Customers anywhere within the service area can download the app and schedule flexible, reliable transportation, all for the same cost as a Metro bus trip.

“Metro Flex transforms and merges three popular and proven on-demand services so riders will be able to travel more seamlessly around their neighborhoods and across the region,” said Executive Constantine. “Ensuring access to easy and equitable transit options is essential to helping people stay connected to their community every day, and Metro Flex is the latest way for everyone to get around King County.”
