		Sea-Tac bus service back to normal Metro bus service at Sea-Tac International Airport is back to normal, after construction on the airport approach ramps was completed more quickly than scheduled. Service to the airport was disrupted Monday and Tuesday morning, but returned to normal operations around noon on Tuesday. That is when the arrivals/passenger pick-up drive (lower drive - Baggage Claim level) at the airport was reopened to all traffic. The construction work involved demolition of some vehicle access ramps to make room to build the Sound Transit Link light rail airport station. Warning: Monday Night Football headed our way Are you ready for some football – and for some traffic? The Seattle Seahawks will be featured on “Monday Night Football” next week on Nov. 6, as they host the Oakland Raiders in a 5:30 p.m. game at Qwest Field. It should mean thrills for football fans and maybe some chills for commuters trying to get home Monday evening. It may be a good night to use transit. If you’re going to the game, take regular bus service to Qwest Field, and then after the game use either regular Metro service or special shuttles to five outlying park-and-ride lots to get home for $3. Commuters may want to plan their trip home to avoid the south end of downtown, if possible, or adjust their work schedule to leave a little earlier on Monday. Bus passengers should expect traffic delays in the downtown and SODO areas. Key Arena transit service The Seattle Sonics kick off their 40th Anniversary basketball season Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at Key Arena at the Seattle Center. Metro Transit has many bus routes that serve the Seattle Center, so make your trip to the game even easier by leaving your car at home or by parking free at a park-and-ride lot. Make sure to plan your bus trip in both directions, so you know there will be return bus service later in the evening.
