About Bellevue

Bellevue is a city in the Eastside region of King County and is located across Lake Washington from Seattle. It is the third-largest city in the Seattle metropolitan area and is home to some of the world’s largest tech companies. Companies currently headquartered there include PACCAR Inc, T-Mobile, and Valve. Microsoft is also a  major employer in the area. People traveling to and from the area can choose from a robust bus network, the expanding East Link Light Rail, and express bus routes to adjacent cities such as Seattle. Local transit centers are a major hub for many of these regional transit options, including Community Transit buses, DART paratransit service, and Vanpool riders. Local bike trails and parks also offer nearby options for pedestrians and bikers.

New Swift signs coming soon— tell us what you think

Digital on-board signs will provide helpful information

Digital signage installed on the ceiling of a Community  Transit bus. The agency is testing two types of signs and is asking customers for feedback.

At Community Transit, we do everything we can to make your trip easy. Right now, we are testing digital signs on some Swift buses, and we want to know what you think about them. We think these signs will improve your bus riding experience by displaying useful information such as:

  • Route name
  • Upcoming stops and departure times
  • Information on transferring to other lines
  • Rider alerts

There are two different types of signs that are being considered. You can see what they look like and learn more about how they might help you navigate your trip more easily. Then you can take a short survey to tell us what you think. Here are links to the two different signs and the surveys:
