Service Frequency Table

For service change:

The Service Frequency Table shows the approximate periods of operation and service frequencies (in minutes) for all King County Metro bus routes as well as Sound Transit Regional Express and Pierce Transit bus routes that serve King County.

Weekday rush hour frequencies (6:00-9:00 a.m. and 3:00-6:00 p.m.) are for the direction of peak commute travel. Routes that operate during rush hours only generally operate only in the peak direction of travel; exceptions that operate in both directions are noted.
