She smiles as she looks at her mobile phone.For many years, service changes at Community Transit included minor schedule adjustments or adding more trips to existing routes. On occasion, we introduced new service,  like the Swift Blue Line in 2009 and Swift Green Line in 2019.

Our recent service change on March 30 was the agency’s first significant service change in many years. It included the addition of the Swift Orange Line, new Routes 114, 166, and 120, and the elimination of Routes 115, 116, and 196. With the launch of Link light rail and the opening of the Lynnwood City Center on September 14, another major service change is on the horizon.

South Snohomish County, in particular, will have:

  • More travel options in the county
  • More regional connections and
  • Changes to many bus routes and schedules
