Metro Shuttle -- what happened to it?

Why was the Metro Shuttle service canceled? Anybody know? Want to get together to get it back? Metro service from Northgate was a NIGHTMARE this year.
I heard a rumor that it was canceled as a result of a lawsuit brought by some @#$%^! public-be-damned free market evangelists who couldn’t handle the free market competition from our excellent King Co Metro system. Is there any truth in this? Any truth in this? What happened?
I used that shuttle for 20 years, sometimes with a babe in arms. I want it back.

do you mean route 16? which runs about every half an hour or route 5 which also runs about every half an hour or the 41 which runs every 15 minuets? are you talking about those? Come on John…stop being a lazy liberal and do for your self every once and a while. And if you are looking for an excuse to drive…I have ALWAYS found a place to park near the entrance and the short walk will do you good…I for one will be taking the metro rail as I live out near the airport…and I paid for it I might as well use it…at least once.
