King County Metro is suspending six routes due to staffing and bus availability.
The routes impacted are peak commuter lines including 16, 232, 237, 301, 304 and 320 from June 12–23."When we plan these, these changes. We know it really impacts people's lives," said Katie Chalmers with King County Metro.
"It was supposed to be there at 6 and it didn’t show up until 6:30, that’s why I’m catching my bus so late now," Melissa said, barely making it to her next ride."We've seen is, is that an increase in the number of times where we're just not able to make a trip, either because there's not a person available to drive it operator available, or there's not a bus that's available to deliver this service," Chalmers said.
"It’s sad," Nahom said. "It’s going to be really tough for us, too. I'm going to have to wait at least 30 minutes to get the 346, but the 346 as well doesn’t come very often." "Unfortunately, the reality right now is we don't want to overpromise and then have people whose bus doesn't show up," Chalmers said.
