Getting around Bellevue with Community Transit
Community Transit is here to get you where you want to go. We are proud to be a part of the Bellevue community — we live here, ride here, and drive here. Wherever you need to go in Bellevue, feel good about how you get there.
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 onboard digital signs signal your destination is near
Community Transit asked riders and the community what would make their trip easy and comfortable and then tested onboard signs earlier this summer. Your feedback made the choice easy.
The new onboard signs will display:
- Swift line name and destination
- Upcoming stops and departure times
- Information on transferring to other transit services
- Key rider alerts
“These signs are designed to help our customers make quick, efficient decisions and feel confident as they ride our services. We value our customers’ time and want to help them optimize it on their trips with us,” said Christopher Silveira, manager of the Swift BRT program.
These new signs will be installed on all Swift buses on a rolling basis next year before the Lynnwood Link light rail extension opens in 2024. The new signs will not impact verbal announcements; you will continue to hear announcements over the loud speaker.
Swift provides fast, frequent service on busy corridors throughout Snohomish County, delivering you to your destination in minutes. A third Swift line, the Swift Orange Line, will open next spring. Learn more about Swift and how it can support your next trip.
