The typical bus fare starts at about $2.50, but it depends on which services you’re using and the type of pass you have. For a complete rundown of fares and passes, visit our Fares and Passes page

Pass prices vary based on a variety of factors, including which services you use, whether or not you use an ORCA card and other factors. You can get a complete rundown on our Fares and Passes page.

If you take a trip that includes more than one bus, when you move from one bus to the next is called a “transfer”. How transfers work depends on how you pay.

If you pay cash, you will have to pay full fare each time you board.

If you use an ORCA card, you will only pay one fare within a two-hour window, even if your trip includes multiple buses. Your ORCA card keeps track of all this — all you need to do is tap your ORCA card on each leg of your journey.

Community Transit does not accept Metro tickets or transfers. If you use both systems, consider getting an ORCA card.

The ORCA card is an electronic fare card that works like cash or a pass, automatically tracking the value of different fares and transfers so you don't have to.

ORCA makes it easy to travel the Puget Sound region by bus, train or ferry. You can use it on all seven of the major public transportation agencies serving King, Kitsap, Pierce and Snohomish counties: Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro Transit, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and Washington State Ferries.

You can sign up for an ORCA card online.

You can reload your ORCA card online.

Or by phone: 1-888-988-6722 or TTY Relay: 711

When adding value to your card online or by phone, it can take up to 24 hours for that value to appear on your card.

You can also refill an ORCA card in person at a Customer Service Office such as the RideStore or Everett Station.

Swift is our bus rapid transit service designed to be frequent, fast and convenient. It costs the same as our regular service, but you pay at the station before you get onboard using your ORCA card or a ticket.

Buses arrive every 10 minutes on weekdays, every 20 minutes on early mornings, evenings and weekends, so you can hop on and off anywhere along the route. Learn more about Swift.

DART (Dial-A-Ride Transportation) provides paratransit service for qualified riders who can’t access regular bus service due to a disability or condition and who require additional support. Riders can reserve a ride to go anywhere within 3/4 of a mile of a local Community Transit bus stop. More information on applying for DART service can be found on the DART Paratransit page.

We do. Contact the RideStore at (425) 348-2350 or ridestore@commtrans.org to see if we have found your lost item. Lost & Found items can be picked up the next business day after 8 a.m.

All buses are checked at the end of the day for any items left on board and all items are held for 14 calendar days, except for bikes, which are held for 10 days due to storage constraints.

If you are claiming a lost bike you must call the RideStore for a pick-up appointment between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on a weekday.

Items lost at Everett Station will be held at the station’s Customer Service Center.

Items lost on the Sounder train can be claimed by calling (888) 889-6368, select the “Sounder” option, then select "Lost & Found."

We handle more than 9,000 items a year; please understand that we are unable to interrupt a driver to search for your item.
