If you ride the bus regularly, here is a heads-up on some changes rolling down the pike.
King County Metro is planning reroutes and rescheduling of buses in Redmond including routes 221, 233, 248, 250, 253, 265 and the 266.
Metro also has suggested changes to other routes on the Eastside: 222, 225, 229, 230, 240, 245, 246, 247, 249, 256, 261, 272 and 926. According to Jack Whisner, Metro Transportation Planner III, Metro would like to eliminate routes 225, 229, 247, 256, 261, 265, 266 and 272 altogether, since most of those buses only run about five times per day during peak morning and evening hours. Whisner said people may dislike the eliminations because they would have to transfer buses.
