LEARN KITSAP TRANSIT

Reasons To Use Transit

The Foot Ferry!  Because I can't swim across Sinclair Inlet!

- Jeff, Foot Ferry Rider

Vanpooling saves money, wear on my car, and I find new friends.  I enjoy our visits in the van and car on our way to work. Since I have a toll on my way to work, it saves on tolls.  Also, our Kitsap Transit Coordinator is great to work with.

- Dolly, Vanpooler

When the weather gets rough or too rainy and cold I can take the bus home from the ferry terminal. Always friendly and nice are the drivers.

- Anita, Routed Rider

You have some outstanding drivers. I just asked "Doug" his name today. He drives us home in the afternoon. He is so courteous. Daniel is very nice as well. I usually pick up the #86 to the ferry everyday. Thank you for all of them!

- Mabel, Routed Rider

I don't drive and use transit everywhere I need to go.  Most drivers do their best to help riders however they can.

- Jamie, Routed Rider

I love getting off the Seattle-BI ferry every afternoon and watching the bus drivers engage in spirited conversations before we leave. Once on the way, they're all very happy and professional! Thanks for your hard work every day!

- Elora, Routed Rider

I ride Kitsap Transit because I need a safe, reliable and practical means of transportation to and from my place of employment. It is also an important part of the overall solution concerning the reduction of negative impacts on the environment. Kitsap Transit operators provide that on a daily basis and deserve to be recognized for their exemplary efforts. Additionally, the operators appear to have the full support of their radio dispatchers and road supervisors, which is an integral piece of the formula for success.

I am impressed with the helpfulness of the Call Center for helping me find a way from Point A to Point B.

I am a daily rider, both to college in Bremerton and then back home to Silverdale.  I just wanted to say that I enjoy the rides and the friendliness of the drivers. They have great personalities and make the ride easy going and stress free. Thanks to all the drivers! You all do such a wonderful job!

The Port Orchard drivers I have had contact with on the #9 South Park are so kind. Thanks!

- Routed Rider

I stopped in with my vanpool to the Vehicle Maintenance shop and they topped off the fluids and made sure everything was winter ready. You guys have a wonderful, great crew down at the shops and I just wanted you to know that. Thank you!

- Helecia, Vanpool Driver

All the drivers that I encounter on the routes that I ride are courteous helpful and pleasant.  They go out of their way to help and from what I see are genuinely nice people.  They know regular riders by their first name-I like that personal touch.  They are great.  I really like them.

My favorite driver is Stephanie. She is a wounderful person.  She is very outgoing with people and there should be more people like her at Kitsap Transit.

- Paul, Routed Rider

Becky is an amazing driver! I use her 333 Bainbridge to Silverdale route to get home from work, and she honestly makes my day so much better. Whenever I get on the bus, I’m actually looking for her! She’s hard-working and polite, handles herself professionally, and is always willing to lend a listening ear! Out of all the bus drivers I see (and I see about 7 to 8 a day), she is honestly my favorite! Keep up the good work, Becky! You make a huge difference in the community!

The Fast Ferries have had such a huge impact on my life. I take them every day to and from Seattle and every day I am amazed at how reliable and on time they are. Thank you!

I wanted to acknowledge Dave and Shawn who are the most friendliest bus drivers I’ve ever encountered. They are so friendly and are respectful of every single passenger. I’ve been commuting over 10 years and I truly appreciate that they help make my commute better. Please let them know they are doing an amazing job. Thank you!

Don’t ever get rid of that dial-a-ride. My day doing laundry and grocery shopping went by so quickly. When they say they will be there in 4 minutes, they really show up in 4 minutes. I have been riding for so many years, and this is the best service ever.

- Laurie, 3/10/2024

Thank you for such a great service I receive, I feel very fortunate to have ACCESS service. I have lived all over the world and have had nothing like ACCESS. The driver I had today was so kind to assist with my doggy carrier and was very pleasant. All the staff have been great!

- ACCESS Rider, 10/19/2023

Joann L. is one of the friendliest and kindest I have met. I felt completely safe the entire ride.

I would like to compliment Mike M. on his great customer service during my bus ride this morning. I caught the 220 06:30 AM bus at the Auto Center to the Bremerton Transportation Center. It was dark and not easy for a bus rider to see outside the bus to see if they were close to their stop; Mike called out all the stops he was coming up to; this was most helpful. During my ride to the BTC Mike received a radio call stating there was an accident enroute to the BTC. Mike quickly got on the PA system to notify all the passengers that our arrival time may be delayed due to the accident, but if there is a backup up then dispatch would re-route the bus to try to maintain the route schedule. I really want to make sure Mike M. understands that he is doing a great job, and I appreciated his customer service this morning.

James was riding the bus from POTC to Fred Meyer yesterday. He says he fell asleep and Justin woke him up at his stop. James says that Justin always has his passenger’s backs and knows his regulars. He is respectful and enjoyable. You can tell he loves his job.
