This is not a comercial. A metro employee erases the warts and boils from this page, but they ate stll present in the system, and need the light of day cast on them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.147.89.150 ( talk) 01:39, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
How about adding information about accidents on the system, like the one where the bus went over the side of the Aurora bridge.
please stop removing the information about homeless in the free ride area.

this article lacks citations. i'll leave some sections here for now, but if they don't show up the uncited information will have to go.

This article has been protected due to the recent revert wars between User:Stubblyhead and User:Justforasecond. Calm down and diffuse the situation here or on your talk pages.

tomf688, thank you for the article protection. Maybe now we can reach a consensus about this. Justforasecond, I'm glad I got your attention. I disagree that the removed information is non-notable, and you're just plain wrong when you say it's not cited. Yes, there are some rows at the bottom where citations are needed. If you must remove them, go ahead, but the majority of that table is well referenced. As for your edits regarding the homeless, I'm still waiting for a verifiable, reputable source. I am still curious as to how it is notable to this article, however. Can you see how such a statement could be seen as inflammatory? I ask you again, suppose the edit in question was "Many riders in Capitol Hill are homosexuals." What would your feelings be on that? -- stubblyh ea d | T/ c 19:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Just plugged mention of the 240, as it probably deserves mention, being one of the major bus routes from south Renton all the way to Clyde Hill, and covering a huge portion of the Eastside in between... being from the area, I can assure you it's noteworthy. ~LoL
I appreciate your addition, it is very helpful, in some ways. What is the currents bus fare? What are some of the problems that have occurred? Is the bus priced fairly, according to rider polls? I need a bit more information... ( 98.125.242.219 ( talk) 06:00, 21 July 2011 (UTC))
there should be some mention of the abundance of freeway stations in the seattle area. -- Tcmetro 19:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
KC Metro entered into an agreement to operate the Central Link Light Rail system, this should be mentioned. Sources: http://www.metrokc.gov/exec/news/2003/060203.htm http://www.metrokc.gov/exec/news/2003/0512031.htm Ordinance: http://mkcclegisearch.metrokc.gov/detailreport/?key=4527
They also operate the South Lake Union Streetcar for the City of Seattle. KC Ordinance: http://mkcclegisearch.metrokc.gov/detailreport/?key=7696 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oranviri ( talk • contribs) 21:54, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

There should be mention of both programs. If I knew what the difference was, I'd add it. But I don't, so hopefully someone can figure it out based on prior knowledge. Here's a good jumping off point:

It seems to me that Metro has been re-branded as King County Metro over Metro or Metro Transit. Does anyone else have any thoughts as to if the page title should be changed with a redirect to the new page? Joshuadkelley ( talk) 03:33, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
In all their publications I see the "King County Metro" logo but then they talk about Metro this or Metro Transit that, even in the latest Rider Alert. On their website homepage it says "King County Metro Transit" but on other pages it says "Metro Transit". In the About Metro page it says "Metro Transit" is the name... The system map's titled "Metro Transit System Map". Some official reports say King County Metro Transit or King County Dept. of Transportation Metro Transit Division. The WSDOT Summary of Public Transportation 2007 gives Metro's operating name as "King County Metro Transit (Metro). If you look at the other systems named "Metro Transit" you notice that they're all called just "Metro Transit" and not Twin Cities Metro Transit or Oklahoma City Metro Transit in their logos but Madison Metro is called just that. My opinion is King County Metro is the most straightforward and easiest when making wikilinks. Oranviri ( talk) 08:35, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
I just read this discussion, and agree. I also have the literally "latest" reliable source in my hand, a June 2009 Puget Pass that I bought 90 minutes ago: it's "King County Metro" on it. :) I just moved the page. rootology/ equality 01:45, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Is this line still needed? ~ 98.247.241.149 ( talk) 23:42, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
I appreciate your addition, but it is a bit outdated... what is the current bus fare? I also feel that you are biased. Not a single one of the problems that occurred are in your article. ( 98.125.242.219 ( talk) 05:56, 21 July 2011 (UTC))
In an attempt to update outdated information I tried to update the Puget Pass information but it was reverted because someone wanted to keep old information, that's fine, but the Puget Pass image is still in a nonsensical location since it was around long before the Transit Now initiative and has nothing to do with it. It was introduced in 1999 whereas the Transit Now initiative was created in 2006. The Puget Pass information should either be moved to a section on payment methods but it most definitely should not be under the Transit Now section. 173.250.146.34 ( talk) 18:54, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I added info about the removal of the Ride Free Area, in the caption of the flowchart and in the main article. However, since I cited both, now I have two citations- 16 and 18, but they're the same site. Can someone merge the citations if that's even possible? I'm new to editing.

Metro has eliminated the Ride Free Area, it's time for Wikipedia to eliminate the huge section dedicated to it. Since it's gone... it doesn't seem right to have it in the operations section of the page. I propose the information be shortened and merged into the history section. RickyCourtney ( talk) 19:22, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
Some sections on this page have become ridiculously long. Specifically we have huge tables that have very little information on transit centers, bases and "other". While I think the information on the transit centers is useful and notable (although needs improvement), bases should at best be a list without pictures, and the other section is not useful or notable and should therefore be removed.
I'm also split on the fleet tables. I'm not sure a huge list of retired vehicles belongs on the main page, maybe it should be split off into another article. Also, while the current fleet table is good, it could also possibly be split off into a separate article.
Thoughts? -- RickyCourtney ( talk) 16:43, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

In the HTML title of their Web site, in the copyright notice on the bottom of their trip planner, on Google Play, on their commute blog, on Facebook, in a legal case and elsewhere "King County Metro Transit" is used and not just "King County Metro". I'm thinking that's the official common name and should be the name of the article.
There seems to be many names that can refer to the agency: KCM, KCMT, Metro, KC Metro, King County Metro, Metro Transit, King County Metro Transit, King County Department of Transportation Metro Transit Division, Transit, Seattle Metro, ... Jason McHuff ( talk) 05:03, 18 January 2018 (UTC)
