Go to a Bus Stop You are usually no more than a few blocks from one of our stops; some stops may be further. Bus stops are next to the road and sometimes include a shelter with a blue roof and clear sides. Every Community Transit bus stop has a poster marked with the route numbers and bus schedules. Plan to arrive at the stop at least five minutes early, as buses may arrive earlier than scheduled. Be visible: in dark conditions wear light or reflective clothing and carry a light. -
See Which Buses Stop There Some stops serve more than one bus. Look at the bus stop sign to make sure the bus you want will stop there. Buses display their route number on the front, the back and the side. The destination is also shown on the front. -
Board the Bus When the bus with the route number you want arrives, stay on the curb until the bus stops and the front doors open. All our buses can “kneel” or tilt down toward the curb to make boarding easier. If you’re not sure whether the bus goes where you need to go, ask the Coach Operator. -
Pay Your Fare The fare box is directly in front of you as you board the bus. Have exact change to pay your fare; Coach Operators do not carry change. If you have a ticket or bus pass, please have it ready when you board the bus. -
Ask for a Transfer, If You Need One Request a transfer ticket from your driver after you pay your fare. Transfers are valid for two hours after you get off the bus. When you catch your connecting bus, give the transfer to your driver. -
Ride Safely If there is no seat available, use the grab bars for balance and move to the back of the bus. There’s usually more room there. Please keep your packages and personal belongings out of the aisles. -
Signal the Driver to Stop When you are a block away, signal that you would like to exit the bus by pulling the bell cord or the signal strip. The bus will stop at the route’s next stop. -
Get Off the Bus Try to stay in your seat until the bus stops. For your safety, wait for the bus to leave before crossing the street. If you have any questions, please ask the Coach Operator. Rider Reminders - Be visible. In dark conditions wear light or reflective clothing and carry a light.
- Children must be removed from strollers, the stroller collapsed and stored out of the way.
- Please give front seats to seniors, pregnant and disabled passengers.
- No eating or drinking on the bus. Food and beverages may be brought on board only if they are in spill-proof containers.
- Listen to audio devices using headphones that limit the sound to the individual user.
- Practice cell phone courtesy. Limit the length, volume and content of cell phone conversations and put your ringer on vibrate.
Transfers - Ask for a transfer when you pay your fare or when you pay cash to upgrade your pass. The transfer is good for two hours after you get off the bus on which you received the transfer. Only one transfer will be issued per fare.
- When you board the next bus, show the Coach Operator your transfer, but do not put it in the farebox.
- If you board any Community Transit bus with another agency's transfer, it is worth one local fare. For example, if someone paying a regular adult fare on King County Metro boards a south county Community Transit commuter route with a commuter fare of $3, the customer would show their transfer and pay an additional $1.75.
- If you are transferring to King County Metro, Pierce Transit or Sound Transit, your Community Transit transfer will allow you to travel within their local fare or one-zone fare area at no additional cost. Travel out of the local or one-zone area will require an additional fare.
- Everett Transit does not issue or accept transfers.
Reading Online Schedules

- These links to maps and alternate schedules for each route.
-
Timepoints are major bus stops along the path of a route. Between each scheduled stop there are additional designated bus stops where you may board the bus. If you plan to board between timepoints, estimate the arrival time based on the timepoint prior to your stop. Below each timepoint you will see a listing of the times that the bus will leave the stop. By reading the timetable from left to right, you can follow the movement of the bus as it travels along its route. - Letters next to a time indicate a footnote providing further information.
- When you see ..... in the timetable, it means no service is provided to that stop on that particular trip.
