I wish I could split up my stars by category...so let's try…read more Service: 5 stars. Only 5 minutes late! And if you don't have a reso, they still pick you up. Not sure how that works cause I don't think the driver can take money, but it's a nice touch. No reso means you may be sitting on the floor, but likely not for long as many people get off at China Beach before the bus heads to Victoria. A great service for avid hikers who need a ride back to their cars or didn't have one to begin with. I am a HUGE fan of accessible yet still "wilderness" hiking. Price: 3 stars. I picked up the bus at Sombrio which means a good 1.5h ride or so. I paid $55. A weeeee bit steep if you ask me considering the bus from downtown Victoria to downtown Van (and including ferry) was under $45. Smell: MINUS 5. Wow. The second I stepped up it hit me like a ton of bricks. Last time I encountered rankness of that caliber I was in South America on a bus that contained people, babies with no diapers, livestock and chickens. And no, you do NOT get used to it. You take it for as long as you have to and you breath through your mouth (although doing so always makes me think of those nasty molecules passing through my mouth and tongue which is kinda worst than your nose right? which is the lesser of 2 evils??) I cannot, however, let the the stankness of smelly dirty hikers influence my rating. I'm sure I contributed and all I kept thinking was...that poor poor driver. I hope he is adequately compensated. Overall... a solid 4 stars. I would recommend the service, just bring nose plugs.

When my folks came to visit from out of state, I set them up on a bus route to get them to Fairhaven. To ease their nerves, I drove them through the route, which was possible with the easy to use route map. In order to further clarify information, we talked to a bus driver. He was very friendly and helpful. If you've got a smart phone, the process is simplified even further. Put in the address, select transit, and you'll get directed to the best route with bus numbers included. Bus schedules are posted at the bus stops. Buses seem to run pretty in schedule. Fixed route fair is $1 one way, $3 day pass. Reduced rates are available for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities. Be sure to bring exact fair as drivers do not make change.

We hired Garden City to provide transportation for our wedding in May 2022. Jason was difficult to…read moreget a hold of throughout the planning process - we spent months emailing asking to confirm details and asking to sign a contract (he never did). We were always a bit worried about how things would go. The week of our wedding Jason increased the prices on us and demanded 100% up front payment, even though previously we had agreed to 50% deposit, 50% on delivery of services. This caused a lot of stress and more worry. The day that all of our guests were arriving from all over the world for our destination wedding, we were dealing with Jason's rude emails and demands for more payment before he would show up. On the day of the wedding, Garden City sent only two buses instead of three as agreed. The result was that the bridal party was stranded for an hour, since we weren't picked up by our own bus as arranged but rather a bus that had to first take all the guests to the venue then turn around and come back for us. This caused our wedding to start one hour late. Given that we only had a 6 hour long event, this led to lots of last minute changes, chaos and stress for us, our family and friends who had traveled from around the world to be there. We found out later from our guests that the drivers (Jason drove himself plus one other person) made unprofessional comments and that guests felt unsafe during the journey because they packed the buses so full to make up for the shortage of driver and buses. Our guests were standing up and packed together tightly on a bumpy bus ride for the 30 minutes back from the wedding to the hotel in downtown Victoria. After the wedding we learned more details and realized the full extent of the issues caused by Garden City. We asked for our money back. Jason denied any responsibility for the issues saying the bus that never showed up to transport the bridal party was "stuck in traffic". If they had just told us they couldn't manage a third bus and driver we could have arranged to take taxis and then I could have been on time to my own wedding. Jason actually suggested calling a taxi instead of waiting for him to return and pick us up - unfortunately that suggestion was made when we were already 30 minutes late to the wedding. If you are planning an event and need reliable transportation, run the other way.

With the 1 Line extending to Lynnwood, I am exploring nearby areas more than ever before. The…read morenorthern stations from Shoreline on are serviced by Community Transit. The Swift bus routes are equivalent to King County Metro's RapidRide bus services as they make limited stops, which allows for quicker and more frequent service. Having taken them on weekends, they usually run on schedule though I did experience one instance of a long delay. As for regular bus services, I thought they were decent. Buses seem cleaner than the Metro ones. Though there is less frequent service on weekends so buses run every half hour or once a hour so checking the timetable is important for catching one. Overall, I am satisfied with Community Transit's bus services connecting to the 1 Line as they are well-timed and run on time mostly.
