Minor Service Reductions Wednesday

Wednesday is Veterans Day, which is a holiday for some, but not for most transit agencies.

Indeed, Sound Transit, the monorail, the South Lake Union Streetcar, Pierce Transit, Community Transit, Everett Transit, Skagit Transit, Island Transit, Whatcom Transit, Intercity Transit, Twin Transit, Jefferson Transit, Greys Harbor Transit, and Mason Transit are all running on regular weekday schedules.

Kitsap Transit will be running regular service except for route 19, which will not be running. There are also some administrative and non-fixed-route reductions.

The King County Water Taxis and Clallam Transit are the only transit agencies in the region that will not be operating on Veterans Day.

For Washington State Ferries, the advice on holidays is to always check the schedule for your route.

King County Metro's holiday schedules are a little more complicated.

Thanks to funding from Seattle's 2014 Proposition 1, no Seattle-only routes will be running a reduced weekday schedule. However, a few routes will be running on a reduced UW schedule, namely routes 31, 32, 48, 65, 67, 68, 75, 167, 197, 271, 277, 331, 372, and 373. The specific trips that will be cancelled are designated in the schedule for each route.

A longer list of routes that serve areas outside Seattle will have designated trips cancelled for Reduced Weekday Service: routes 101, 102, 105, 106, 107, 111, 116, 120, 121, 122, 123, 125, 128, 143, 150, 153, 157, 158, 159, 167, 168, 169, 177, 179, 180, 181, 182, 183, 186, 187, 190, 212, 214, 218, 219, 232, 242, 244, 249, 252, 255, 269, 303, 311, 312, 342, 907, and 931.

A few routes will not run at all: routes 114, 192, 201, 237, 304, 308, 316, 330, 355, 601, 661, and 930.
