Starting 4/20.
Last year 27.5 and 29" MTBs WOULD NOT fit the racks. I've asked Metro to check and update FAQ.

That's really cool. I hope this type of service expands. I don't live close enough to utilize it, but maybe one day the other transit agencies will get on board.

Are the racks on the smaller buses thy use for trailhead access actually different than the ones they use on standard metro buses? My 29er fits fine in those (but it's a XC rig with 2.25" tires, so YMMV)

In any case, the only MTB trailhead these specifically access is Sunset way in Issaquah, and you can get there on a regular 554...

It's a short ride to Raging and Ollalie from NB P & R. I did this many time last year. Yes the rack were different, very old school. The 554 only runs once an hour on weekend mornings. The ride to Sunset from the Issy P & R is easy.

This is good to know, my wife and I are down to one car and I rarely get it on the weekends anymore

Here's another idea. If you ride with anyone who lives east of Lk. Washington, you can bus across the lake and then carpool.

Reading about the recent breakins at RR I wonder if any n'er do wells will utilize the trail bus to get from camp to work and back.

the ride to Raging will be much shorter once the Tennant trailhead park connection is done in NB.
