Yesterday Metro sent a service change ordinance to the King County Council that cuts service to campus for Bellevue College’s most heavily used route, the 271 – our link to downtown Bellevue.
The reroute would eliminate a stop serving over 900 students, employees and visitors daily and run the bus on 148th which serves 1 or fewer riders during weekend service. Download the BC 271 Bus Cut Fact Sheet.
You can let you voice be heard on this issue and perhaps save campus service!
IN PERSON: Thursday, May 15, Bellevue City Hall 5:30 p.m. – sign in/open house Wear a BLUE T-SHIRT and RSVP to show support for BC
or ONLINE
Metro did pull a similar reroute , Route 245, after students and the college protested during the winter outreach period, but Route 271 was left on the chopping block. This change would take effect February 2015.
