For The Reporter

The Seahawks and Buffalo Bills play Monday Night Football here in Seattle and the King County Executive Department of Transportation urges every one to prepare for delays.

A media release from the department stated “bus riders should plan for crowded buses and traffic delays Monday.”

The game begins at 5:30 p.m.

Buses will likely be delayed on the surface streets and in the Downtown Transit Tunnel, the release said.

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 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 plans to operate extra 3-car Link trains to help handle the large crowds expected after the game.

NO SEAHAWKS SHUTTLE:

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.
