Intercity Transit is a public transportation service organized as a municipal corporation. It serves Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, and Yelm, Washington: an area of approximately 94 square miles (240 km2). It operates 24 bus routes, the Dial-A-Lift door-to-door service for people with disabilities, a vanpool program, and specialized van programs, and it is active in community partnerships. Intercity Transit maintains a free shuttle route called Dash, which provides service between the Capitol Campus and downtown Olympia via Capitol Way.[4] Dash runs every fifteen minutes on weekdays, and every ten minutes on weekends, and is close to several public parking lots. In 2009, the American Public Transportation Association gave Intercity Transit the America's Best Public Transportation System award for the mid-size category.[ Intercity Transit operates 77 coaches, 33 Dial-A-Lift vans, and 221 vanpool vans.[6] Intercity Transit purchased six new hybrid electric buses in 2010,[7] and nine new hybrid electric buses in 2014. Intercity Transit is one of the first transportation systems in the country to use an all-biodiesel fleet. All of Intercity Transit's coaches are Gillig Low Floor buses [8] They are equipped with: Kneeling equipment to lower the door opening to curb level for easy boarding. Automatic stop announcement equipment, which announces the next stop on the bus public address system and an electronic sign on the ceiling at the front of the bus. Surveillance cameras One or two wheelchair parking spaces Cushioned seats with purple, blue, and grey fabric.

There are a lot of shortened operation times due to upgrades, maintenance and expansion. As large as the Seattle metro area is I'm surprised there wasn't public transit train installed and with good coverage of stops long ago. But it seems to be happening now. I think of Campbell Scott in the movie Singles and how his plan gets shot down for a broader commute expansion with trains for a plan he submitted. It almost feels like an inside joke and maybe it always was or has been for a long time living in the metro area. Recently we rode on the new expansion that goes to Federal Way. We rode the train up from the large transit center and garage there and it was nice and smooth. A bit long but so much less stress not having to drive. I have my Orca Card handy with me and it's easy on and easy off. Overall good experiences with this train system!

Why is it that Washington state has all this gravel and debris and it tends to have people driving over the debris hitting other cars damaging vehicles.

The roadways need to be fixed and cleaned up street sweeping or highway sweeping is very much needed. You cannot tell me that we can't afford it. Washington state has enough money for highway sweepers to clean up the debris and glass on all highways. I have provided a picture of their highway and what it looks like on 167. WSDOT DO BETTER! I also got notification that you were supposed to fix the roadway on 186 or 183rd St. in Puyallup and you have not done that yet. You've done everything else by adding sidewalks for pedestrians, but you have not fixed the roadway

I used Twin Transit while staying in a hotel for a little over a week. This service operates only…read moreduring daytime hours (up to somewhere between 6:00 and 7:00 PM) during the week with limited service on Saturday. There are four bus lines with transfer points for transferring between lines. I only used the Red Line, Bus Route 30. It routes through major points in Chehalis to include the Safeway Grocery then to the very cute old part of Chehalis, past the Fairgrounds, Wal-Mart, and all the way up to Amtrak. If you are staying in any of the hotels on Interstate Street in Chehalis, it's a brisk half mile walk to the closest bus stop, which is Route 30. The stop is at the Safeway, but it's in the back, behind, on 11th street, and it's near the garbage container so a little smelly. On the other hand, if you are staying at any of the RV parks, they are too far away from any bus stop. I found their schedules hard to read and somewhat confusing. For example, Bus Route 30 makes a complete loop. The Lewis County shopping mall is on Hampe Street, which can be accessed on both sides of this loop. The schedule does not make it clear whether the bus accesses the mall going north or going south on the loop. It doesn't even address WHEN it stops at this mall. From riding the loop, I discovered it DOES access the mall from both sides of the loop. Well, it would have been nice to know that on the schedule....... Another issue was that since it was a "loop," well, when the bus finishes the "loop" at the last "time point," does it start over again, or do they put another bus at "time point #1" at the beginning of the loop and you have to transfer to another bus if you happen to be on it going that direction? Found out it does keep going on the next scheduled loop, but it would have been nice to have that clarified on the schedule. I think there are so many situations like this that it would make their schedule too complicated and they are just trying to keep it easy and keep the schedule to one page. Another rider on the bus kind of joked, "This is usual for Centralia/Chehalis, they give you limited information and you have to fill in the blanks....." The busses are about the size you would expect but I was surprised at the small number of seats in the bus. They space the seats farther apart than the seats on busses in larger cities. Even a tall person can ride comfortably. In large cities, even though I'm short, I feel crunched in the seats, but on the Twin Transit bus, I had a lot of leg room.

I love some of the cool shirts some drivers wear( those Hawaiian looking ones). When I first rode a Pierce transit bus, drivers were wearing vests and burgundy colors. Now they wear a nice blue color uniform! I have seen drivers come and go. When I first rode Pierce Transit drivers were very friendly and you get to know them well. Now fast forward in 2025, things are just so different. I do not know if the pandemic and crime has affected how our drivers interact with passengers. I am not sure. Today October 6 at around 8 this morning, my elderly husband took a trip and needed assistance with his destination. I understand drivers have a bit of duties other than driving. But passengers are paying customers and they should be very attentive to them especially the disabled and elderly ones. I have a problem with this. This morning was just too much for me. It only takes a second to direct a passenger to where they need to go. My husband called me and I can hear my husband ask for an assistance to his driver several times and he was not getting any response. I hung up and called the customer relations and I just felt let down. The man who called to respond to my complaint about my husband's experience was very curt and condescending. Frankly he could care less. You know I am hurt to give them so low stars but lately it has lost its shiny splendor of service. Do not get me wrong , there are still awesome drivers that make Pierce Transit shine. I acknowledge this and hope this review will encourage Pierce Transit to focus on all passengers from young , elderly , disabled and other. It is great that they offer free services to our youth and I adore even the mascot Boop! Yes I think that they can do this ! Apply it more in their training! It is a great company and I am confident that with hard work that Pierce Transit can be the way to go! I would love to give more stars but I am very disappointed at this time. I think crimes and possibly pure work burnout can be a factor . But it is never an excuse to ignore or mistreat elderly or disabled passengers. They are paying passengers too. I love Pierce Transit and I have to tell it like it is because they can do better!

I arrived at the crosswalk and was in the middle of the road merely steps away from the bus when the driver started to pull off. "Wait! PLEASE wait!" I called out but the driver continued to drive away. It was the kindness of Pierce Transit Supervisor Kristian that made my entire day. He offered to give me a ride to the transit station where I was heading to avoid me being stranded in the cold. I am writing this review because he had no idea of the type of week I had just survived nor my health condition but he powered up the heat as soon as I arrived and gave me a smooth and safe ride to my destination. It literally made my day. I'm extremely grateful for his generosity. I thanked him repeatedly and his response was "Pierce Transit cares for thier customers." I did not know that courtesy rides like this existed and I'll never forget the kindness that he showed me when I had no other options.
