Route name and timepoint changes coming in June 12 service change
A bus passes blooming cherry trees along Charleston Boulevard in Bremerton.
Our summer service change begins Monday, June 12.
For this change, we’re adjusting time points on several routes, adding a few new trips and renaming Route 9–South Park to Route 9–East Port Orchard. We’re also turning on Saturday bus service for two routes that connect to the Kingston and Southworth fast ferries, which began their summer schedules on June 3. You can find all the details below!
We’re still hiring bus operators! The more drivers we hire, the more quickly we can resume pre-pandemic service levels. Our drivers receive paid training and CDL certification; excellent benefits including health, dental and vision insurance; a pension in the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) and generous paid leave. New operators can also earn up to a $7,000 signing bonus.
