Night Owl routes

The Night Owl network is made up of some of Metro’s most popular routes. In addition to serving neighborhoods, communities, and the main downtown Seattle area, Night Owls connect with Sea-Tac Airport, park & ride lots, transit centers and Link stations, too. Expanded service on Seattle routes is funded by the City of Seattle.

Choose your stop

Metro offers special “Night Stop” service between 8 pm and 5 am for added convenience, and because we want you to feel secure traveling at night. Night Stop allows you to ask your driver to let you off at any point along your bus route, even though it may not be a Metro bus stop.

Just come to the front of the bus at least a block ahead of where you want to get off and request your stop. The driver will decide whether the stop you asked for can be made safely. Drivers can pick you up only at regular Metro bus stops.

Night Stop is not available in downtown Seattle between Battery Street and South Jackson Street, and the waterfront and Interstate 5. For safety reasons, the wheel-chair lift will be deployed only at lift-approved bus stops along the route.

Accessibility

All Metro buses are accessible, equipped with accessible boarding ramps, and bicycle racks, too. Once you’re on board, enjoy a well-lit experience that takes the stress out of your trip. The next stops are shown on an overhead electronic display and are also audibly announced. You know where you’re at and where you’re going at all times. And, you’re being driven by some of the best bus drivers in the country. Relax. Home sweet home is on the way!
