Transit can be a great way to get out and enjoy the Pacific Northwest.

If you think transit is just for the slog that is your work commute, think again! In this episode of That Transit Show, Community Transit’s Phillip Jefferies sits down with Host and Public Information Officer Monica Spain to share how he’s made transit his go-to ride. And that's not just for getting to work, but for fun too.

Jefferies, a former bus driver turned marketing manager, details his personal experiences taking transit to his favorite destinations in Snohomish County and beyond. He shares:

  • How he envied bus commuters and ended up driving the bus.
  • How to plan for a day trip.
  • Why he prefers matinee showings.
  • Surprising detours that wouldn’t have made the itinerary if he had to drive and park.
  • How he discovered the freedom of going car-less for a night on the town.
  • Adventures traveling from Monroe with his dog and more!
