As gas prices continue to increase, bus ridership between Seattle and Sammamish has been rising as well, increasing crowding on Eastside routes. Many Sammamish residents have also begun carpooling by van through Metro’s Regional Ridematch System, an online networking service.
Metro Transit is planning to accommodate some of the growth by increasing service on Route 269 in September from every 30 minutes to every 20 minutes at peak hours. The agency also plans to make additional improvements over the next five years.
