UPrep partners with Lakeside School and The Evergreen School to provide specially designed Metro bus routes that our students can use traveling to and from school. Our Custom Metro Buses run on the same schedule every day that UPrep has classes. The Custom Metro Bus pass (Orca card) purchased from UPrep is a two-zone card, good for a student’s Custom Metro bus 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
