Another game-day reroute: Southbound Metro buses on Thursday

No word yet on the longer-term solution that’s in the works (as mentioned Monday), but Metro is going to reroute southbound buses out of Pioneer Square (corrected) on Thursday because of the Seahawks‘ final preseason game. Announced for 4-8 pm Thursday, for routes 21 Express, 37. 55, 56, 57, 113, 120, 125, RapidRide C Line:

For all buses except Route 37, there will be no stops between southbound 3rd Av & Columbia St and West Seattle.

For Route 37 there will be no stops between southbound 2nd Av & Marion St and West Seattle.

The full reroute one-sheet is here (PDF).

Slight correction on the article. Today is still Tuesday (I hope), so this is actually for two days from now, not tomorrow (which is Wednesday).Think I’m going to try my luck at taking the light rail through downtown and picking up a normal 21 in Sodo, once it survives the gauntlet.

Thanks, fixed, headline was correct but for some reason I didn’t carry that through to the blurb.

“No word yet on the longer-term solution that’s in the works”One is left wondering if they actually have a plan as there’d be no reason to keep it this close to their vest. Public comment would be a healthy idea as I really think the route designers do not actually use buses themselves and it’s just an exercise on paper not invovling real people who have to try to adapt.

Speaking from firsthand knowledge: leadership and planners from metro (king county) use public transit to and from West Seattle on a regular basis. I see them. So can we quit the “those people never ride the bus” thing?
