Starting March 28, Metro will increase bus service with earlier morning trips, later evening service, and more weekend options in south King County and across the Eastside. At the same time, Metro will launch systemwide all-door boarding, allowing riders to board through any door, helping reduce delays at busy stops and improving travel time and reliability across the system.
Included in this service increase is Route 225 , which runs from Kenmore Park and Ride, through Finn Hill and Juanita, to Totem Lake Transit Center, past Lake Washington Institute of Technology, and ultimately ends at Overlake Village Station in Redmond. This service currently runs every hour between 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. on weekends. Starting on March 28, the Route 225 will begin 30-minute frequency service on weekdays between 5 a.m. and 10 p.m.
The systemwide service changes strengthen connections to Sound Transit’s expanding Link light rail system, including the new 2 Line Crosslake Connection between Seattle and the Eastside. Together, these improvements make it easier for riders to move between bus and rail while improving reliability across the transit network. They also help prepare the region for a busy summer of major events, including the FIFA World Cup, by making it easier for riders to travel quickly and reliably throughout the region.
