If you’re worried about getting coronavirus from touching a bus railing, you’re not alone. King County Metro started a new bus cleaning program Wednesday that the agency says will greatly expand their ability to clean their fleet of 1,600 buses.

Our #1 priority is the health of passengers, employees, and community members. When novel coronavirus emerged in our region, Metro moved quickly to disinfect every bus, every night using backpack sprayers containing Virex II 256. https://t.co/sstAIIWNkK
Metro crews are now disinfecting every bus every night using 21 newly acquired backpack sprayers across its 7 bases - a practice that will continue for the foreseeable future to support the health & safety of passengers, employees and community members. https://t.co/H2mqoSKHj7

One aspect of Seattle's explosive transit ridership growth that's been a bit overlooked is the brilliant practice of reorienting the bus network to feed into rail stations every time a new one is added. Seems simple, but many agencies neglect to do this.
