1 Fall 2018 Guide to SERVICE EXPANSION and FARE CHANGE

2 Fall 2018 Guide Service Expansion & Fare Change This fall, Community Transit is adding more trips on popular routes, and changing some routes to serve more people. Service changes The Swift Blue Line will operate every 10 minutes between 6 a.m. - 7 p.m. weekdays. That s an extra trip an hour in each direction on our most popular route. An early morning trip will be added to start the weekday Swift commute at 4:20 a.m. in each direction. New midday and evening trips to and from downtown Seattle will be added on Route 413. This provides more options for workers and shoppers who don t travel during regular commute hours. Route changes will be coming to Route 109 in Lake Stevens and Route 196 in Lynnwood, and additional trips on Route 120 between Canyon Park & Edmonds Community College. These service changes take effect starting September 23. Fare changes Community Transit will also raise local bus and DART paratransit fares by 25 cents, simplify commuter fares, and increase vanpool fares by about three percent. These fare changes take effect on October 1. If you purchase a monthly pass, be sure to adjust your fare purchase in mid-september. Details are available on page 6 and online at communitytransit.org/newservice. 1
