There are so many public transit options serving our region. Plan your next transit adventure on one of these fun options.
Double your fun on a Double Tall bus
Where to ride a Double Tall bus:
You can catch a double decker bus from Sound Transit or a Double Tall bus from Community Transit when riding in our region.
About Double Tall buses:
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.
Plan your trip
Community Transit routes that operate using Double Tall buses: 402, 405, 410, 413, 415, 417, 421, 422, and 425.
Sound Transit Routes that operate using double-decker buses: 510, 512, 513, 532, and 535.
Please note that some of these routes also use articulated buses.
Choo-choo-choose a ride on the Sounder Train
Where to ride the train:
The Sounder Train’s N Line spans four train stations with stops in Everett, Mukilteo, Edmonds, and Seattle. Everett Transit and Community Transit provide bus service to three of these stations.

About Link light rail:
The 1 Line serves 19 stops on a north-south route between Northgate Station and Angle Lake station, with more stops expanding north and south currently under construction. The line connects Northgate, the University District, Downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley, and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. Learn more about connecting to light rail.
Float your boat on a ferry
Where:
Community Transit provides direct connections to two ferry terminals:
- Edmonds Ferry Terminal Ferry service between Edmonds and Kingston, Washington.

About taking the ferry:
Taking the bus is a great way to connect with these stations, as there is limited parking available at both ferry stations.
