BI Ride Experience…read more#1: + Only $2 for an on-demand BUS ride?? Sign me up! +95% cheaper than any Seattle Uber/Lyft ride, das for sure! ++ Having a whole empty bus pick up only me and drive only me around felt like a red carpet treatment. xD + The app provides live updates of your bus' location on its way to you by the minute. + Friendly, helpful driver staff. + Spacious. Only 2-4 occupants at a time. You totally have your choice of seat. + If you're lucky, fast pickup. I was at the Seattle ferry terminal when I ordered via Ride Pingo. The bus came within 2min! Experience #2: - If you're unlucky, pickup could take over 30min. The service is a shared ride, so if someone else happens to request a ride around the same time as you, and they're located a bit out of the way, the bus will still reroute to pick up the other person first (and possibly drop them off at their destination, unfortunately) before finally picking you up. Uber and Lyft don't share this flaw. - Furthermore, once you request a ride, you'd best stay put. The Ride Pingo app doesn't provide the bus driver a live update of your location like other rideshares do. Initially staying put, I saw the added delays. I decided to start walking from my pickup point toward the bus. I stayed on the path the bus would take to reach me, so the driver will see me. After a 15min walk, the bus showed up and drove past me. I waved to the driver, and the driver waved back at me as she kept driving. I felt nervous and abandoned, but I quickly looked up BI Ride (Kitsap Transit)'s phone # and eventually got it sorted out. After some scrambling on both sides, finally the bus found me. - And during this incident, I checked that a $9 Uber would've picked me up in 8min (while a $52 Lyft would pick me up in 27min. shocker). - After picking me up, the driver proceeded to pick someone else up and then drop them off before 'finally' dropping me off at Ba Sa Restaurant. Experience #3 (avoided another predicament): - Requesting another BI Ride later that afternoon, I would be stop #7 and pickup would be in 27min. holy moly. Not worth the $2. Rather pay more for Uber, pick me up right away. Summary My experience with Kitsap Transit's BI Ride was marvelous in the morning (Mon 11am), questionable at noon, and dismal by afternoon (2:31pm).

Yesterday, I arrived at the terminal at 6pm for the 6:25pm scheduled departure to Silverdale #333…read more Upon arrival, the driver, who was carrying a large bag, exited the bus and closed the door without allowing me to board while I waited for departure. The female driver exhibited a lack of consideration. At 6:34 pm, she was still engaged in conversation with another female driver instead of returning to the bus to activate the interior lights and open the door for passengers. Consequently, other passengers entered the bus, and I followed. The driver returned at 6:35. I hope that drivers will receive training on the importance of consideration and allowing waiting passengers to board the bus. As the waiting area seating was infested with biting insects, I was unable to sit there.

There's also Mike Wallace Park just a few steps away. This park hosts a farmers market between May and October. I mainly use this terminal when I'm visiting family in Poulsbo, Kingston, or playing golf at White Horse. The terminal has some amenities such as restrooms and vending machines. I wish it was designed to have a fully enclosed waiting area like Edmonds Terminal. This is especially important during the high winds and cold months. Other than that feature, this terminal is easy to transit through and offers a convenient connection to the pennisula.

We lucked out with blue skies and light winds - enough to make chasing the sunset perfect. Learned a lot about ballooning from Bob and Jay. And really enjoyed their personalities-it was evident that they truly enjoyed what they do. There were two groups that took flight on a Sunday evening. I would definitely recommend this company for your hot air balloon ride--they'll let you participate in pre and post balloon activities if you want. And of course, the champagne post flight was a great way to end the day.

She was all smiles and still talking about all the sites she saw on her very first flight (UW, Space Needle, Puget Sound). "Everyone gets a window seat on one of their beautifully restored de Havilland Beaver or Otter Seaplanes for a birds-eye view of the Emerald City, University of Washington, Shilshole Bay, and Discovery Point." The pilot, Quinn, went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. He took photos for our family, and even let our kiddo sit in the cockpit after landing. The maintenance crew was also willing to answer any questions and were full of smiles. It was truly nice to see people who enjoy their jobs/careers. In the lobby you'll find awesome coasters, teeshirts, beautiful coffee mugs, hats, and even a toy seaplane that our kiddo had to have. I love that everyone was required to wear a mask, especially since our kid is unvaccinated. Hubby and I look forward to catching another flight in the near future! Thank you for an unforgettable experience during such uncertain times.

They are all arbitrary depending on the mood and the weather of the people who work there, including James (the man in charge). If you are a couple please note that you may be put into a plane with other people regardless of what plane and option you picked. You will not know about it until you get to the meeting point and one couple will not get to sit together. Thus, it may be better to look into other companies and there are others! If you are planning to go as a group, there are better and more professional establishments which are cheaper and/or same priced. The only saving point of this establishment is Mark (seaplane pilot) who made all the efforts to not only ensure that our experience on the air was great but also to redeem the Company. Overall, in the state where aviation is one of the major industries, there are better, more professional, and cost efficient companies and small businesses. Try them. They will have more respect and consideration for your experience. If you insist on booking from this establishment, exaggerate your weight to make sure that they cannot fly anyone with you.
