Buses

Best first route when you need the official bus system overview, rider information, or agency-wide service context.

Use the official Metro tools when you already know this is a normal bus trip and want the agency’s planning path.

Use the quick snapshot page if you want current weather and city conditions before you leave.

Best first route when the practical question is when the next bus arrives rather than which agency owns the route.

Use neighborhood guides when the real question is where in Seattle you want to end up before you choose the route.

Use Live when you want the camera, radio, and city-movement view before choosing bus versus another way to move.

Use this when the route is already decided and the only real question is when the next bus is coming.

Use Metro’s travel area when you need the official trip-planning or service information path.

Use Alerts when you want a broader disruption read that includes roads, ferries, and other movement across the city.

Return to the broader transit hub if the trip might actually be rail, ferry, or driving instead of bus-first.

Use the rail guide when the trip might work better on Link than by bus.

Go to the service page if the task turns out to be permit parking, citations, or transportation account admin.
