Bus Shelters

The King County Metro Transit system is one of the largest transit systems in the nation and includes 9,200 bus stops and 1568 bus shelters - most are located on either public or private property and maintained by Metro staff.  Metro works with communities and neighborhoods to keep up the appearance of shelters by quickly repairing damage and enhancing them with artwork when possible.  Here's a few ways you can help:

· Bus Shelter Mural Program - Metro started the bus shelter mural program back in 1989.  Metro contributes the paint and panels so members of the community can donate their artistic talent to creat murals for bus shelters.  Visit the website at: http://metro.kingcounty.gov/prog/sheltermural/shelter_mural.html.

· Report problems – Call Metro hotline at 206-263-6369 to report problems with bus shelters, such as: graffiti, broken shelter glass and benches, excessive garbage, or damaged and missing transit signs.

 

 

 

Smoking in or near bus shelters is prohibited by law. "No smoking" decals are posted on all Metro shelters as a reminder that smoking is prohibited within 25 feet of the structures.
