Swift Blue Line Food Guide
Whether you’re taking a day trip or commuting home from work, there are a ton of amazing food options within a 10-minute walk of almost every station on Swift Blue Line. Of course, there are chain and fast-food options, but we gathered some of our favorite locally-owned spots and put together a Blue Line food guide. Hop off at a station and try something new!
With Swift Blue Line buses running every 10-20 minutes on weekdays and 15-20 minutes on weekends, it’s easy to take a quick (and tasty!) detour from your commute.
