Bus operators for King County Metro Transit are evaluating safety partition designs as the agency plans to retrofit up to 1,300 of its 1,400 buses. Existing buses not being upgraded will be replaced by a recent order for 89 new buses that have a partition already installed.
From now through July 5, four buses with different styles of partitions will be touring King County Metro’s bases. The safety partitions, which riders will begin seeing on both new and existing buses later this year, offer increased size and durability to better protect King County Metro bus operators.
