Explore the many ways to ride transit
There are so many public transit options serving our region. Plan your next transit adventure on one of these fun options.
Double your fun on a Double Tall bus
Where to ride a Double Tall bus:
You can catch a double decker bus from Sound Transit or a Double Tall bus from Community Transit when riding in our region.
About Double Tall buses:
Our fleet of Double Tall buses is the second largest in the US. They’re lower maintenance, more fuel efficient, and easier to maneuver in the snow and ice than articulated buses. Each can comfortably seat up to 100 riders and gives those seated up top a great view.
Plan your trip
Community Transit routes that operate using Double Tall buses: 402, 405, 410, 413, 415, 417, 421, 422, and 425.
Sound Transit Routes that operate using double-decker buses: 510, 512, 513, 532, and 535.
Please note that some of these routes also use articulated buses.
Choo-choo-choose a ride on the Sounder Train
Where to ride the train:
The Sounder Train’s N Line spans four train stations with stops in Everett, Mukilteo, Edmonds, and Seattle. Everett Transit and Community Transit provide bus service to three of these stations.
About the Sounder Train:
Sounder N Line operates during weekday peak hours only. Riders can pay with an ORCA card, use cash or credit at ticket machines, or with the Transit GO Ticket app. Learn more about our train connections.
Link up to Link light rail
Where:
Community Transit brings you right to the Link 1 Line, providing frequent bus service to Northgate Station where you can connect to light rail. Plus, later this year, four more light rail stations will open: Shoreline South/148th Station, Shoreline North/185th Station, Mountlake Terrace Station, and Lynnwood City Center Station.
About Link light rail:
The 1 Line serves 19 stops on a north-south route between Northgate Station and Angle Lake station, with more stops expanding north and south currently under construction. The line connects Northgate, the University District, Downtown Seattle, the Rainier Valley, and Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. Learn more about connecting to light rail.
Float your boat on a ferry
Where:
Community Transit provides direct connections to two ferry terminals:
- Edmonds Ferry Terminal Ferry service between Edmonds and Kingston, Washington.
- Mukilteo Ferry Terminal Ferry service between Mukilteo and Clinton, Washington.
About taking the ferry:
Taking the bus is a great way to connect with these stations, as there is limited parking available at both ferry stations.
Get zippin’ on Zip Alderwood Shuttle
Where:
Zip is an on-demand shared ride service for travel anywhere within our Alderwood service area for the same price as our local bus fare. See a map of the Alderwood Service Area. You can take Zip Alderwood to the mall, movies, rec center, to run errands, and to connect to our bus services and Lynnwood Transit Center. Learn how it works and how to book a ride via phone or on the GOIN’ app.
