Metro Transit Alert: New Link light rail service and Spring service changes
On Saturday, March 19, Sound Transit will extend Link light rail service to Capitol Hill and University of Washington stations, one week before Metro’s spring service change takes effect on Saturday, March 26. This extension of the Link light rail network features frequent, fast service between downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill and the University of Washington near Husky Stadium. Metro’s service change will revise bus service in several areas to provide reliable connections to Link at these two new stations.
Especially in areas with new Link service, transit customers need to know that they will continue to use current bus routes and schedules for one week before new ‘Link Connection’ bus service becomes available on March 26.
New travel opportunities
Metro’s spring changes and light rail expansion provide current and new transit riders with many more commuting and travel opportunities to and from many more places. Even if your bus service is not changing, you may want to take a fresh look at your commute.
Phased changes
For one week from Saturday, March 19 through Friday, March 25, the following Metro bus routes will serve the new Link light rail stations:
- Capitol Hill Station – at Broadway & E John St: Currently served by Metro bus routes 8, 9, 10, 11, 43, 49, 60, and the First Hill Streetcar.

Starting Saturday, March 26, Metro’s spring service changes will take effect. These changes include a new network of bus service designed to connect riders with Link and to provide new neighborhood connections and service improvements you’ve told us you want.
Additionally, In partnership with the City of Seattle, Metro’s RapidRide C Line will be extended to serve South Lake Union, and will no longer continue as the RapidRide D Line to Ballard.
