Microsoft Corp. will launch a free express bus service for employees to and from its Redmond, Wash. headquarters later this month. It will also increase its presence in Seattle to nearly 1,400 people with the addition of three new work locations in the city, including the Westlake/Terry Building, 111 S. Jackson and 505 Union Station.
The Connector will run five routes in the region, in Seattle, Issaquah, Mill Creek, Sammamish and Bothell, each with several stops. The service will accommodate up to 1,000 employees daily via its Wi-Fi-enabled buses. The free shuttles are expected to begin service on Sept. 24 with most of the routes scheduling five pickup times in the morning and five in the evening.
