    Metro sent out an alert cancelling routes 55, 56, and 57 today.

    I ride the 125 bus.  Yesterday evening and this morning I received multiple alerts (from KC Metro alerts and One Bus Away) that my bus was cancelled.  Never the less it showed up both times.  Makes it difficult to know what information to trust.

      Yeah, usually you only have to make the hike  between Puget Ridge and Delridge on snow days. The cancellation definitely adds a lot of time (and cardio) to your commute.

      Just got message that some 125 trips were restored. (an earlier message had said that one was suspended for the day)

    It’s going to be chaotic for a while, I imagine. Now we’ve noted above that Metro says it’s restored most service on the 55, 56, 57, 125 for the PM commute.

Sorry, comment time is over.
