RapidRide A LineMetro’s new RapidRide service made its debut in October 2010. The RapidRide A Line replaced Metro’s Route 174 along Pacific Highway S / International Blvd. between Federal Way and Tukwila, and offers twice as many bus trips as the previous service. RapidRide service is designed to keep people moving throughout the day in this heavily used transit corridor.
