How do I read your schedules?

All of our routed bus schedules read from left to right, as the bus travels. At the top of each schedule is a list of places along the route the bus will pass by, along with the times the bus is due at that point. These are called timepoints. The list of timepoints are there to help you judge when to expect the bus to come by your stop. The locations of those timepoints are also shown on the schedule’s route map. By checking the timepoint just before the stop where you want to catch the bus, you can determine when to be at your bus stop. Three dashes (- - -) indicate that the bus doesn’t serve that timepoint on that trip. Still need help?  Call or email us and we’ll be happy to help you!

Friendly Drivers

Kitsap Transit drivers are friendly and willing to help. If you have any questions, ask your driver. Remember, your driver must place safety before conversation. It is best to ask your questions when the bus is not moving. You may also call our Customer Service Office at 1-800-501-7433 with your schedule questions.

Trips Involving More Than One Route

Sometimes, to reach your destination, you will need to switch from one service to another. A Kitsap Transit bus pass offers you unlimited rides on any Kitsap Transit routed bus, Port Orchard Ferry or Annapolis Ferry for the month of issue. A Fast Ferries monthly pass is also valid on Routed buses and Local Foot Ferries. Riders who qualify for a reduced fare are eligible to purchase a reduced-fare pass. Simply tap your ORCA card with your pass loaded on each vehicle you ride. ORCA card users who pay their regular or reduced fare from E-purse are entitled to a free 2-hour transfer. Transfers are good in any direction of travel at most locations. 

Transfer Policy

When transferring, the first fare you pay with your ORCA card or contactless payment will transfer with you for up to 2 hours on most other ORCA transit services, except Washington State Ferries and Kitsap Transit Fast Ferries. This means that you can transfer between many services for free within a 2-hour window. If any part of your trip costs more than your transfer fare, you will only have to pay the difference. Transfers are not accepted or issued on Kitsap Fast Ferries. 

To receive a transfer fare, tap the same ORCA card or contactless payment  (credit card/debit card/digital wallet) at each leg of your trip.

Riders paying with cash can request a paper transfer. Paper transfers are valid at transfer centers and transfer points only for the next connecting Kitsap Transit bus or Local Foot Ferry. Paper transfers are NOT valid on Kitsap Transit Fast Ferries.
