Route 90 (Snow Shuttle)
Route 90 operates when snow routes are in effect in the Central Seattle area, and when the Emergency Service Network has been activated due to severe weather. Route 90 buses travel between Downtown Seattle and First Hill, via Capitol Hill, serving all marked stops along the route from approximately 5:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.[ 2]
Route 96 & 98 (Seattle Streetcar)
Route 97 (Link Shuttle)
King County Metro operates Route 97 when service on Sound Transit's 1 Line is suspended for a prolonged period of time. If the entire line is closed, Route 97 buses emulate trains, stopping at every station along the line. If only a section of the line is closed, Route 97 buses serve as a "bus bridge" shuttling passengers between the operating sections of the line and stopping near intermediate stations on the closed section of the line, in the case of a multi-station closure. Limited stop variants of route 97 may also be operated in the case of a multi-station closure.[ 3]
100s (South King County)
Routes in the 100 series primarily serve destinations in South King County and on Vashon Island.[ 4]

600s (Community Shuttle and Trailhead Direct)
This series of numbers is used for routes considered temporary or experimental. Currently community shuttle routes use these numbers. These routes are operated using Metro owned minibuses, operated by drivers from the non-profit Hopelink and partially funded by the communities they serve. While all routes operate on a fixed route, they also offer a flexible service area where passengers can be picked up and dropped off, if they make a reservation in advance.
The 600s are also used for the Trailhead Direct shuttle system, which runs on weekends and holidays during the spring and summer.[ 6]

700s (West Seattle Water Taxi shuttle)
These routes are shuttles connecting neighborhoods West Seattle to the Seacrest Park King County Water Taxi terminal for service to Pier 50 on downtown Seattle's waterfront.[ 7] They serve all posted bus stops along the route. Although both are classified as DART (Dial-a-Ride Transit) routes, only route 773 has a zone where during weekday mid-day trips buses may deviate from their route. During the winter months (late October to early April) mid-day and weekend service is suspended on the West Seattle Water Taxi and on the shuttle routes.
Routes in the 700s are also used for special event services, such as Washington Huskies football games at Husky Stadium .[ 8]
