King County Metro announced Thursday it plans to suspend 20 routes and reduce the frequency of others starting in September. The agency said in a release that it focused on revising 20 routes with "low ridership." Starting Sept. 2, the suspended metro routes will be 15, 16, 18, 29, 55, 64, 114, 121, 167, 190, 214, 216, 217, 232, 237, 268, 301, 304, 320 and 342. Each route has alternatives, with most being available at the same bus stop or a nearby one, King County Metro said. “We designed the September service change guided by our customers,” said Michelle Allison, King County Metro general manager. "These adjustments mean riders will know their trip will be there. This approach also better positions Metro to grow our transit network in future years."
