Metro opens holes in traffic
for Husky football fans

For the 2003 season, the UW Huskies [external link] once again have King County Metro Transit on their team. Starting this Saturday, Sept. 6, football fans can eliminate driving and parking hassles to and from Husky Stadium by riding the bus.

The ride is free on any Metro bus, and on Sound Transit's Route 550, when you show your game ticket or ticket stub to the bus driver.

This year’s Husky home games are all on Saturdays:

Sept. 6 at 1 p.m.
Sept. 20 at 12:30 p.m.
Sept. 27 at 12:30 p.m.
Oct. 11 at 12:30 p.m.
Oct. 25 at 12:30 p.m.
Nov. 1 at 7 p.m.
Nov. 22 at 12:30 p.m.

Again this year, there will be special shuttles to Husky Stadium from eight outlying park-and-ride lots, plus supplemental service to other key locations. The shuttles start leaving lots for Husky Stadium about two hours prior to kickoff. In most cases the last bus leaves the park-and-ride 45 minutes before kickoff.

In addition to the regularly scheduled service and special shuttles, Metro operates supplemental service to Husky games on special routes from downtown Seattle and Capitol Hill, Ballard and Lake City.

For details, visit Metro Online, or, call Metro’s Rider Information Office at (206) 553-3000 on weekdays from 5 a.m. to midnight; and 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. on weekends.
