The D Line is one of six RapidRide lines (routes with some bus rapid transit features) operated by King County Metro in King County, Washington. The D Line began service on September 29, 2012,[2] running between Carkeek Park in Crown Hill, Ballard, Interbay and Uptown and downtown Seattle. The line runs via Holman Road NW, 15th Ave NW, 15th Ave W, Elliott Ave W, W Mercer Pl, Queen Anne Ave N/1st Ave N and 3rd Ave.[3]

The D Line is interlined with the C Line.[3] Upon reaching 3rd Avenue & Cedar Street in downtown, southbound D Line buses change signs to continue south as the C Line. When northbound C Line buses reach Seneca Street & 3rd Avenue in downtown they change signs to continue north as the D Line.

History[edit]

This corridor was previously served Metro routes 15 and 18.[4] which carried a combined average of 7,630 riders on weekdays during the last month in service.[1] Since the implementation of RapidRide on the corridor, ridership has grown 39 percent and the D Line served an average of 10,620 riders on weekdays in June 2014.[1]
