press release:
Between Monday, December 19 and Tuesday, January 3, some Metro routes will operate on reduced schedules, and there will be two Monday holidays when Metro operates Sunday service.

Some Metro bus routes have reduced service during the University of Washington winter break or during the week between Christmas and the New Year, when ridership is typically lower than usual.

Metro will operate its Sunday schedule on the following holidays:
• Sunday, Dec. 25 – Christmas
• Monday, Dec 26 – Christmas holiday observed
• Sunday, Jan. 1 – New Year’s Day
• Monday, Jan. 2 – New Year’s holiday observed

The 'When no UW' schedule will be in effect the week of Dec 19-23, and from Dec 27-30.

Metro's reduced weekday schedule will be in effect:
• Tuesday-Friday, Dec. 27-30
• Monday, Jan. 16 – Martin Luther King Jr. Day

On days with reduced weekday schedules, some commuter and school-oriented routes do not operate, and other routes have individual trips canceled. The reduced weekday schedule features more bus service than on weekends, but somewhat less service than on normal weekdays.

Except for Sunday operation on designated holidays, many routes will have no changes during the last two weeks of December. If a route is not listed below, it has no changes when reduced weekday service is in effect.

Even though bus ridership is usually lower during the holidays, the Washington State Department of Transportation will begin tolling on the State Route 520 bridge on Dec29. SR-520 commuters may make adjustments to their travel routines at that time; those changes may be reflected in bus ridership and
park and ride lot occupancy patterns. More information about all the cross-lake travel options is available at: www.kingcounty.gov/getyouthere.
