Our region reached a major milestone when more than 300,000 people rode King County Metro. Achieving the highest one-day total in four years is proof that transit is the engine of our economic recovery. We’re going to more places and we’re traveling together.

The 303,000 people who took Metro on May 15, 2024, represents an increase of 22% from just a year ago and 156% from 2020. And this fall, your transit options will grow, too. Metro is adding more bus service, including in the evenings and on weekends. We’re providing connections to four new Sound Transit light rail stations. We’ll also unveil the RapidRide G Line, linking Madison Valley with downtown Seattle.

More riders and an expanding network bring us closer to what each of us wants our region to offer: easy, congestion-free, and environmentally friendly ways to get around. Read more.
