[communitytransit]

@julioclau The Swift buses are made by New Flyer.

@pbeaty2008 No, Community Transit operates in Snohomish County, Washington. Bus rapid transit (BRT) is a style of bus system, and isn't exclusive to any one transit agency or company. That's exciting that Austin will be adding a BRT line - Swift quickly became our highest ridership route and our customers love it.

so Is Swift the same company that Opperate Trucks which I see cruising on the interstate?

[communitytransit]

@sideslide23 No, this Swift bus rapid transit system is operated by Community Transit, the public transportation provider in Snohomish County, Washington.

Sorry to hear that! Community Transit doesn't operate a Route 38, though - were you waiting for a Metro bus? If you need any info on Community Transit routes and services in Snohomish County, just let us know.

[pbeaty2008]

so i wonder if this is the same company austin texas is picking up we are starting rapid bus next year

I really wish that the Route #150 (King County Metro) had this program. I've noticed that the route in the morning isn't so bad, but the late afternoon commute (especially on fridays) are very full. Having large doors to enter and exit, and having folks pre-pay means getting to Seattle a lot faster.

@theraptorfan100 It's not community transit's fault if they aren't given the budget needed to run on those dates.

[theraptorfan100]

When are you gonna bring back Sunday and holiday service? Those cuts were the most stupid decision every. I can't afford to take a cab everywhere.
