King County Metro Transit will be operating with a reduced weekday schedule today for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday. That means some commuter-oriented routes will be canceled that day, and there will be individual trips canceled on other routes. Many routes will have no changes.

This is the same reduced schedule that was used recently on Nov. 28, Dec. 26, Dec. 29, Dec. 30, Dec. 31, and Jan. 2. It features more bus service than on weekends, but somewhat less than normal weekdays with some route or individual trip cancellations. This schedule will be used on at least 10 days in 2009.

The routes that are not operating on Monday are: 2 Express, 7 Express, 9, 32, 34, 45, 46, 53, 76, 77, 79, 114, 126, 133, 152, 157, 161, 162, 167, 170, 175, 191, 192, 196, 197, 201, 205, 206, 207, 208, 210, 217, 219, 237, 243, 247, 250, 256, 260, 261, 265, 266, 268, 272, 277, 291, 304, 308, 316, 355, 372, 373, 885, 886, 888, 889, 890, 891, 892, 912, 925, 952, 981, 982, 984, 986, 987, 988, 989, 994, 995 & Group Health Express.

For routes with trip cancellations, please refer to the regular weekday schedule for your bus route – either online or in the paper timetables – and look for the trips marked with an "H" or read the Special Service information.
