R.I.P Metro Route 38

As of today, one of Beacon Hill’s bus routes is gone: Route 38, a shuttle between Mount Baker and Beacon Hill Link stations. The route formerly ran down to Sodo, but since the opening of Link the 38 was truncated to a shorter route, running only during part of the day. The limited hours and route that duplicated Link made the route not terribly useful, and Metro finally pulled the plug today.

If you were a Route 38 rider, Metro suggests using Link instead.
