Fall service additions also improve transit connections at Edmonds Station and Seaway Transit Center

Snohomish County, Wash. – Community Transit continues to add service this fall with additional Swift bus rapid transit trips early mornings and Saturdays, longer Sunday service hours, and better transit connections to improve the journey for riders.

Both the Swift Blue and Green lines will begin weekday service earlier, at 4:15 a.m., and will run buses every 15 minutes until 6 a.m. Between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m., Swift routes run buses every 10 minutes.

In response to high demand, the Swift Blue Line will operate more frequently on Saturdays, every 15 minutes. The Green Line, which started operations this past spring and is still building ridership, will remain at 20-minute service on Saturdays.

On Sundays, many routes will extend their service later in the evening, and an extra north-south route has been added between Marysville and Lynnwood. Details are listed below.

These service changes take effect starting September 22.

Riders should check the fall schedules as other bus trip times may have changed. Schedules are posted online (www.communitytransit.org/Schedules) and Bus Plus schedule books are available on buses and at other community locations.
