Swift: A better bus experience
Orange Line joins the Swift Blue and Green Lines as the third Swift line in Snohomish County. The new Swift line is just one part of the “Transit Changes in 2024 and Beyond” expansion plan.
Buses come every 10 minutes on weekdays
Swift is like light rail on wheels — buses stop at every station and are so frequent, you don’t need a schedule. Buses come every 10–12 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes during evenings and weekend.
Rapid boarding & seamless service
To keep things moving swiftly, riders pay at the station before boarding at any door. Fares can be paid with an ORCA card or at a ticket kiosk with cash or credit card. Swift buses only stop for about 10 seconds at each station. Signal priority technology and bus lanes keep Swift running quickly through traffic.
Service for all
All Swift stations are accessible and Swift buses can accommodate wheelchairs, walkers, strollers, and bikes. All buses have low floors, with only one step from the ground to the main floor. Announcements are made for every Swift stop.
Station upgrades & real-time information
Newly designed stations along Orange Line include rain shelters, improved lighting, and additional seating. Digital signs display real-time information about when the next bus will arrive.
ORCA savings & reduced fares
Swift fare is the same as other local bus fare and riders never pay more than $2.50 per ride. Reduced fares are available for riders 65 and older, riders with disabilities, Medicare cardholders, and people from low-income households. Youth 18 and younger ride free. When you pay using an ORCA card, your fare payment can be transferred between rides on buses and light rail for two hours after you first use your card.
