Connecting ST Express Route 522 buses to Link light rail in 2021
The Northgate Link Extension adds three new Link light rail stations at Northgate, Roosevelt and the U District. When these new stations open in 2021, bus riders will be able to connect to Link and enjoy fast, reliable service to downtown Seattle, the University of Washington, Sea-Tac Airport and many more destinations around the region.
Sound Transit and King County Metro are considering rerouting the 522 and 312 to Roosevelt Station so riders can transfer to Link and take advantage of this new transit option. There’s room for change as we redesign bus routes, and we want your feedback! Check out the Sound Transit project page here, and click here to go directly to the survey.

Routes 540, 541, 542, 545, 566, 577 & 578
On Thursday, Nov. 21, the Sound Transit Board approved the agency’s 2020 Service Plan. It includes a revision to Route 541, based on growing ridership demand across SR 520 and public input during our autumn 2019 outreach period.
We’ll continue to operate some of the highest ridership trips on Route 541 while also implementing the new Route 544, which will serve Overlake Transit Center, South Kirkland Park-and-Ride and South Lake Union. Route 540 will no longer continue after the March Service Change next year.
We’ll implement these changes in March 2020, in coordination with King County Metro’s North Eastside Mobility Plan.
