Bus riders should plan for crowded buses and traffic delays this evening when thousands of football fans are set to converge on CenturyLink Field to watch the Seahawks play the Buffalo Bills.
The Monday Night Football game starts at 5:30 p.m., just as many commuters are heading home from downtown. Buses are likely to be delayed on surface streets and inside the Downtown Transit Tunnel.
Visit Metro Online or Metro’s online Trip Planner to find out your options for riding transit to and from the game. When planning your trip, check Metro’s Service Advisories page to find out about any known revisions to your routes.
Metro will assign extra staff in the Downtown Transit Tunnel to help customers board on crowded buses. If you use an ORCA card, be sure to have it ready for speedier boarding.
Sound Transit also plans to operate extra 3-car Link trains to help handle the large crowds expected after the game.
Park-and-ride shuttle buses that Metro normally operates before and after Sunday games will not be available for Monday Night Football. No other service changes are planned during Monday’s game. There are no special fares. All service requires a regular fare payment.
