Community Transit has 19 express bus routes offering more than 125 roundtrips each weekday between Snohomish County neighborhoods and downtown Seattle. Free park & ride lots throughout Snohomish County make it easy to catch a bus and avoid I-5 traffic.

Buses use the HOV (carpool) lanes and have priority on Seattle streets, saving you time as well as money and stress.

Most downtown trips are during peak hours (6-8 a.m. and 3-6 p.m.); depending on the bus route there are anywhere from two to 10 trips an hour. Off-peak service is also available for those late mornings, days you need to get home early or evenings you want to stay in Seattle (see Route 414 and Sound Transit Express Routes 510 and 511).

Once in Seattle, many Community Transit passengers transfer to King County Metro Transit buses to complete their trip to First Hill, South Lake Union, Belltown or other destinations. Community Transit has separate commuter service from Snohomish County to the University of Washington and to Redmond and Overlake on the eastside.

To plan a bus trip anywhere in the Puget Sound region, simply click on Trip Planner at the top of the page and enter your starting point and destination.

Community Transit commuter fares are based on distance passengers boarding in south Snohomish County pay $3 per trip; passengers in north and east county pay $3.75 (Routes 421, 422, 424, 425).

Many Downtown Seattle employers offer incentives for employees to carpool or take transit such as a FlexPass or Puget Pass valid on buses throughout the region. Check with your employer to find out if they offer transit incentives.
