Due to the potential snow during the morning commute, buses in all areas will start on snow routes tomorrow morning, King County Metro Transit announced.
Bus riders are advised to check the Metro Transit website for the most current status of Metro service before traveling on Monday. Updates to the online information will begin at 4 a.m.
Metro has been monitoring the weather over the weekend and is preparing for the possibility of snow. The Monday forecast from the National Weather Service indicates that cold temperatures and more moisture could cause snowfall in King County starting in the morning and lasting throughout the day.
While the accumulations are not expected to be deep, Metro managers want to be prepared and not have to change to snow routing during the middle of the busiest travel times.
Not every bus route has snow routing, but most do. Check the timetables at www.kingcounty.gov/metro for snow route maps for each route.
