Riding the bus is an easy, smart, and convenient way to travel. It's good for your budget, the environment, and your wallet, plus it gives you back your time. Read, enjoy music and entertainment, or just sit and ponder life’s big questions.
Taking transit is:
Community Transit operates a diverse fleet of buses in a variety of models, each designed to meet varying conditions, the needs of our riders, and the communities we serve.
Everything moves a little faster on Swift. Buses depart every 10 minutes on weekdays and 15–20 minutes on weekends, early mornings and evenings. Riders pay at the station for faster boarding and buses operate in dedicated lanes with traffic signal priority.
Our fleet of Double Tall buses is the second largest in the US. They’re lower maintenance, more fuel efficient and easier to maneuver in the snow and ice than articulated buses. Each can comfortably seat up to 100 riders and gives those seated up top a great view.
The primary differences between routes comes down to communities served and schedules. Our Local service operates throughout Snohomish County. Express bus service runs between key residential areas and major transit hubs, providing faster travel during peak times. Swift moves you quickly and runs more frequently along its high-capacity routes.
You can pay with cash or ORCA cards. Reduced rates are available for youth aged 18 and younger, people 65 and older, riders with disabilities, Medicare cardholders, and low-income community members who qualify. Learn more about ORCA LIFT , Regional Reduced Fare Permits, and Youth Fares.
