Soon there will be no more bus free rides in Seattle.
Bus service had been free for riders in downtown Seattle
from Battery St. to S. Jackson St, and from 6th Avenue to
the waterfront.
KING-5 reports the free ride area is
being
eliminated to help with budget issues.
The free ride area will end in September as part of
Metro’s
fall service change.
Beginning in September, all riders will pay a fare upon
entering the bus.
Metro is holding a ride free informational open house
Thursday 4 to 6:30 p.m. at the Union Station Great Hall.
Metro is also seeking public comment on the
implementation.
Comments can be sent to community
