Metro running shuttles to Saturday’s UW game, including stop in Renton
Published 3:18 pm Friday, September 5, 2014
King County Metro Transit has game day shuttles Saturday, Sept. 6, to carry thousands of fans from eight park-and-rides, including Renton, to the University of Washington Huskies game.
Shuttles require cash fare and leave specific park-and-ride locations starting two-and-a-half hours before kickoff, and return to those park-and-rides after the game. Every effort is made to accommodate all shuttle customers and fans are encouraged to leave plenty of travel time due to demand and traffic congestion.
UW Huskies vs. Eastern Washington
Non-stop shuttles heading to the noon Saturday, Sept. 6, Husky game at Husky Stadium depart designated park-and-ride lots beginning two hours before kickoff. Based on previous game day ridership, riders should prepare for high demand for these shuttles.
During the 2014 season, Metro’s Husky shuttles serve the Eastgate, Federal Way South 320th Street, Houghton, Kingsgate, Shoreline, South Kirkland and South Renton park-and-ride lots and the Northgate Transit Center.
Buses leave as they fill – or about every 20 minutes. The last shuttle to the game leaves about 50 minutes before kickoff, except South Renton and Federal Way, where the last shuttles will leave 60 minutes before kickoff.
Fare information
• A $5 round trip voucher is required to board the shuttle, sold by a vendor at each park-and-ride lot.
• Game tickets, ORCA, UPASS and paper transfers are not valid on P&R shuttles.
• Game tickets are not accepted as fare on any service.
• Fares will be collected by non-Metro staff at the park and ride lots.
• Children under 5 ride free, but there are no other free or reduced fares for P&R shuttles.
Buses returning to the park and rides leave from revised designated locations near Husky stadium depicted in an online map, responding to construction in and around the stadium. Some delays should be expected as buses cycle through their return trips. The last shuttle leaves Husky Stadium 30 minutes after the game.
