UPrep partners with Lakeside School to offer custom Metro bus routes to and from UPrep for our students. The custom Metro bus pass (Orca card) purchased from UPrep is a two-zone card, good for a student’s custom Metro route and for regular Metro, Community Transit, and Sound Transit (Link Light Rail) transportation.
The Custom Metro Bus program serves the following neighborhoods (routes vary year-to-year based on ridership levels):
- Route 982: Evergreen Pt., Yarrow Pt., Clyde Hill, Overlake, Bear Creek
- Route 986: Montlake, Evergreen Pt., Yarrow Pt., S. Kirkland, Houghton
- Route 987: Roosevelt Light Rail Station, Mount Baker, Seward Park, Rainier Beach
- Route 988: UW Light Rail Station, Montlake, Madison Valley, Miller Park, Madrona
- Route 989: Mercer Island, Eastgate, Somerset, Factoria
- Route 994: Ballard, Interbay, Lower Queen Anne, Downtown
UPrep is also conveniently located close to several regular Metro bus routes, including the 372, 65, 62, and 79. The Metro route 79 provides a direct connection to the Roosevelt Light Rail Station.
