How to connect with Link light rail

On this page: Bus routes | Fares | Quick links

Sound Transit’s Link light rail service is up and running. Learn more about how to ride Link and other Sound Transit services [external site].

Many buses already connect to Link stations or stop nearby—see the list below. To learn more, visit Metro Online and use the Online Trip Planner (see note at right) or enter a route number for a timetable or map of that route, or call Metro’s 24-hour Customer Information Office at 206-553-3000.

Beginning Sept. 19, Metro will change many bus routes to improve connections to Link and reduce duplication of service. Metro will make several additional changes next February. Learn more about those upcoming changes.
