Driver shortage cuts bus routes between Snohomish, King counties
EVERETT — Driver shortages caused Sound Transit to cut 18 daily weekday bus trips on express routes between King and Snohomish counties.
Similar problems with canceled or delayed trips over the past month have also hit Sound Transit’s other express routes, operated by King County Metro and Pierce Transit.
The Snohomish County-centric service changes took effect Monday and are to last through March 19. Routes 510, 511, 512, 513 and 532 lost trips.
Since 1999, Sound Transit has contracted with Community Transit to operate its 500-series express routes. Community Transit staff estimated Sound Transit would pay out $19.4 million in reimbursements this year.
