The A Line is one of six RapidRide lines (routes with some bus rapid transit features) operated by King County Metro in King County, Washington. The A Line began service on October 2, 2010,[2] running from Tukwila to Federal Way, mostly along Pacific Highway South. The northern terminus is Tukwila/International Boulevard Station. From there, riders can transfer to Sound Transit's Link light rail, the RapidRide F Line, or to other King County Metro buses that serve Burien, Tukwila, SeaTac, Duwamish, and downtown Seattle. Its southern terminus is Federal Way Transit Center[3] and connects riders to buses serving Tacoma, Pierce County, and Auburn. Between the termini there are a total of 13 stations[3] plus 13 intermediate stops.[4]
