Greetings
Welcome to www.NoFareMetro.org. Here you will find information on the King County Metro bus system. We are currently looking into the possibility of a free transit system throughout the greater Seattle area. Why? Because each year, according to the 2006 Metro Transit Facts posted at the county’s official website, King County Metro generates a mere $87,929,462 in revenue while spending a whopping $433,108,247 on various expenses.
We ask that you review our reports, letters, and articles to develop your own well-formulated opinion on these matters. Thank you and enjoy browing. Should you have any submissions or inquiries, please feel free to contact us.
King County Metro News
The Sammamish Review published a short article on September 23, 2008 on how the City receives expanded bus service.
Excerpt: "As of Sept. 22, King County Metro expanded service on the bus 269 from two to three times per hour. The 269 bus runs from 6-9 a.m. and 3:30-7 p.m., traveling between the Issaquah park-and-ride and the Overlake park-and-ride in Redmond, crossing Sammamish along the way."
The Robinson Newspapers posted a story on September 15, 2008 about how Transit projects will spark delays, congestion.
Excerpt: "...During construction on the south end of the Alaskan Way Viaduct, bus routes 54, 56 express, and 21 express will see more buses and longer peak hours, paid for by $32 million given to King County Metro from the state department of transportation... With the money Metro can move more quickly to buy 30 new hybrid buses, 15 of which will be put into service in 2009 on routes from West Seattle, Ballard, and along Aurora."
