The agency now delivers accurate bus information to our riders through multiple channels: Pierce Transit provides free Wi-Fi on buses, and has invested in other technology to help riders access bus information “live,” in real-time. Customers preferring to use paper schedules may print their own from this website- just choose your route, and click “Download Route PDF.” Or, request free printed schedules from our Customer Service department. This change significantly reduced the agency’s use of paper, and eliminated time spent developing and distributing books that became less accurate over the year. This was especially evident when we were forced to change schedules multiple times in response to COVID-19 related effects. The Routes & Schedules book had become a dated resource it led to bus riders referencing obsolete bus schedules, since schedules changed throughout the year.

The current pandemic has reinforced our need to become more resilient to essential rider needs by providing the most current information that is available. In September 2021, Pierce Transit moved away from producing Routes and Schedules books, and transitioned to digital resources. Service is provided for more hours of the day, and other schedule adjustments are made to improve service. Route 212 on Saturdays: Trips are added, so buses arrive more frequently mid-day. Route 206 on Sundays: Trips are added so buses arrive more frequently. Route 28 on Sundays: Trips are added so buses arrive more frequently. Route 16 on Sundays: Trips are added so buses arrive more frequently. Route 11 on Sundays: Trips are added and times are aligned with Vashon ferry schedules. Service is provided for more hours of the day.

Route 4 on Saturdays: Trips are added, so buses arrive more frequently mid-day. Route 1 on Saturdays: Trips are added, so buses arrive more frequently mid-day. To plan ahead, use our Trip Planner or the Transit app.
