I'm currently unable to drive due to shoulder surgery and needed an alternate way of getting to appointments. I was able to use the 4 and 23 lines to easily get to/from my appointments today. The drivers were friendly and waited until I had a seat before moving. This was helpful since I can only hold on with one arm. Both busses I rode were clean as well. Nothing sketchy about the ride, I felt safe both ways. read more

The busses are normally a minute or two late. Now the busses are 10-40 mins late dont expect to make it anywhere on time. Even when you try to catch an earlier bus you will be late. read more

Asked for directions at the downtown transit center to take my two small children to the YMCA to swim on Sunday. As we were told every 30 minutes on the weekend. Unfortunately, we were dropped off at the valley transit center by #1 and told to take the 32. Then we were told it's a 45/60 minutes wait time?? Almost two hours later still traveling to the YMCA. At 12:30 on Sunday with two small children in the wind and rain... Now my child is sick... Unbelievable that now it's a hour wait for a bus. This will be our last month buying monthly passes at STA... THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT SPRAGUE TRANSIT CENTER. EVERYONE OFF THE BUS WAIT 30 MINUTES OF OR ANOTHER BUS? ANOTHER BREAK...?? MOST TERRIBLE SERVICE I EVER HAD. NOT RECOMMEND read more

Terrible service... I don't know how many times I have watched buses drive past me because they are so late that they can't pick up the people waiting for them and then the next bus that we get on is so packed you can't even move.. then when I go and make a complaint to Spokane Transit they tell me well rush hours busy and that's just the way it is there's nothing we can do about it.. read more

I have been taking Spokane Transit for at least 20 years. In the last four or five years the server has gone down exponentially. Busses are raley on time and add to that the drivers all seeming to go out of their way to be rude. If you do not rely on the bus then do yourself a favor and do not take it. What a joke. read more

Make sure you check the DEPARTURE TIME ! Oh wait it doesn't matter what time an STA bus departs YOUR drivers leave when they want and leave the customers behind ! I'm a federal employee who relies on the bus to get to and from work, I'm on the commuter program and get my pass automatically deducted every pay period and FOR WHAT !??? The time I get the 63 to air way heights stop # 4355 which is suppose to depart here at 6:36 pm the bus flew by at 6:32!!!!! I was so upset because this has happens all week the bus's is suppose to be by around 6:36 and passes early every time! leaving me behind to wait for another bus up-to an hour! I called and spoke with customer service Ryan who sent me to a voice mail for Sara the supervisor on right now . Will they call me back? Probably not even Ryan basically said don't hold your breath.. I will be reaching out to media like KREM 2 Newsand see if they can help me understand why the bus drivers depart when they want and leave customers when they want ? ???? You are here to serve the community not yourselves ... I will update you guys, but I'm gonna guess right now that the new station will probably call me back before one of the supervisors does Spokane Transit read more

I haven't been on a public bus since my teens. It was a great experience, the bus was clean, on time and it was a nice ride. I only wish that I didn't have to walk such a long way to catch it. read more

Let me just say first that my experience with sta has always been good but theres this one bus, bus 68. When i went for a loop because i had some time and when we reached the final stop, ewu i had to wait more than 10 minutes which was the waiting time and made me late. This was at the last week of august mind you. Now, Sept. 16 it suddenly changed? I live at eagle point but it just skipped and went with the route of bus 6 to spokane before i got off and when i requested to stop at a stop to get off it stopped at a stop where there was no 68 written on it?? Im a student and bus 68 is literally my way of transportation. STA PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE FIX IT. read more

This company is so seriously underrated. I've always felt safe on the bus, they are quick and courteous. Plus, they always are very kind, their bus drivers, and I feel this company is rock solid for the value you get for a ride. Please use this company more, as they are staple to Spokane. read more

So, it is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS to have to wait 45 MINUTES at the STA Plaza to catch a bus!! ESPECIALLY THE 25 NORTH DIVISION!! This is one of the main arterials if not the main arterial in Spokane!! It is very apparent that whoever designed this bus schedule does not have to ride the bus!! read more

Drivers are rude, stops are disgusting and a lot of the patrons leave belongings and garbage all over the stops and the sidewalk around the stops read more

I have a 14 and a 17 year old both which have to ride bus to get to school have had multiple problems with bus drivers refusing to stop and pick up the children will drive right past them and now having even a bigger issue with bus driver on route 28 older man decided today to get up in my 17 year old's face and call him a liar that he was not a minor mind you just 2 days ago I was on the bus and went missed a 30 year old tweaker with the same man said he was 17 in the man didn't say a word but yet wants to harass my son and has became an everyday thing I have spoken to management they have made it very clear these bus drivers do not have a right to question are minors but yet bus driver on number 28 older man gray facial hair and wears glasses 14 year old even tried to tell him brother was 17 my 17 year old told him just like manager had instructed they cannot question their age that's when he proceeded to get loud and get in my son's space and then threatened to throw him off the bus when he stood up for his self BS you best believe I'm going after that bus driver's job these drivers do not have a right to put their hands or verbally abused our children it is called verbal abuse to a minor and it is against the law that's what I was told when I made the police report today if it was not for my child or any others that ride this bus they wouldn't have a damn job they need to recognize they do not have a right to be disrespectful to anyone specially a minor and when he stands up for a selfie threatened to throw him off a bus what a coward these bus drivers do not know how to drive have to damn time they wait until they get right up on a light or car and then slam on break they give a job to anyone that is willing to drive the bus without doing their homework going to end up causing them a hell of a lawsuit one of these days I advise all adults to talk to your children and find out how these bus drivers act towards them parents need to stand up for their kids who else is going to do it and I will protect mine to the fullest and that includes from some grumpy ass punk of an old man!!! read more

Normally amazing. I can't say enough good things. But to the driver on the 45 tonight who blasted by me on south Perry at 7:20 p.m. thanks for costing me $20 in Lyft rides. You are the worst. read more

Although most of the drivers I have encountered have encountered, have been professional and friendly, I think the STA supervisors need to put that young pup driving bus # 1763 in check. He had no business scolding me just because I didn't see an elderly lady trying to exit through the front door right away. I moved out of the way as soon as I saw her. I certainly didn't appreciate the brat letting several people exit through the front door at the last stop, only to put the ramp down as soon as I attempted to exit through the front door. Not cool. To the the kid in question; keep your ass in line, boy, or I will. That's a promise. read more

They spent millions of dollars remodeling the plaza, which included new bathrooms and a room with USB plugs to charge phones. The bathrooms have been closed for months.they claim it's to prevent drug use but people just get high in the one single bathroom they now have available. It's ridiculous. Missed my bus because of course there was a line to the bathroom. And they took out all the usb outlets. Why? What a waste of money.musy be ran. By idiots read more

I left my wallet on the bus this morning and realized right after getting off. As soon as I had turned around to go back and grab it, the bus had already started leaving and kept going despite my efforts to chase it and flag it down. I then called customer service who acted like they were going to get the bus searched and get back to me as soon as they could. 3 hours go by with no contact so I went to check in when I was at the plaza. I was told they'd have it at noon tomorrow and the most they can do is get me a connect card so I can ride the bus home and suggested getting a friend or family member to come pick me up and get my car that was stuck at a park and ride location while I no longer had my license. Customer service lacked care or understanding for the issue because sticking to specific 24 hour policies for lost and found is more important than people's ability make it places safely and legally. I'm very disappointed in my experience today. Ivd also waited and hour for a bus that was supposed to come in 10 minutes multiple times because it never shows and I'm stuck waiting for the next bus. Customer service is awful. Timeliness abd reliability is awful. I wish I had other forms of transportation to get to school because I would prefer any thing to this. read more

I ride the 4 Northbound Wednesday - Friday to work downtown and Valerie is the BEST!!!

Trying to take the 90 bus standing right next to the door bus takes off most drivers are nice but some are just rude when u try to ask them something. read more

Bus drivers are (usually) friendly. Bus routes are very easy to figure out. Generally very safe and somewhat clean. Price for bus fare is kind of high, unless you buy a monthly pass. One major issue is the bus schedules. They stop running very early and start kind of late , if you work early or late don't count on this for transportation. The route schedule online is different than the paper schedule and they are both different than the actual bus times, sometimes. Ie today I looked up the bus time it said the bus left at 12:22.the paper schedule at plaza said it left at 12:10.the bus actually left at 12:20,causing Me to miss it and have to sit and wait a half hour for the next bus. Which caused my transfer to expire. I was disappointed. read more

Don't like the way the new schedule looks very confusing and you can't see the next day until it rolls over, some of the drivers are rude spokane need to do better read more

This Paratransit system is awful. The reserve the right to keep you waiting then take you on a. Unsafe and bumpy ride all over Spokane while taking over an hour and a half to get you to your destination for now $4.00 round trip.

A Spokane Transit Authority bus driver and bus injured me as I walked onto the front entry door and the driver closed the door which caused me to be squished in between the doors and it was done on purpose. The driver didn't write an incident report. Spokane Transit Authority customer service sure let me know they have attorneys. I was happy to have been told by a Our Lady of Guadalupe Roman Catholic Church here in Spokane WA about that church and that it is Sedevacantist and on the bus line. I went there immediately and was happy. Many parishioners did not want me to be happy and said to me this is our church what are you doing here why don't you just stay home. I hoped they would tell where their authority and licenses come from but they only want a tithe and I didn't want to give them one until they told me. I did though. Spokane Transit Authority bus driver and bus and Dr Paul Schutz at Alpine Family Chiropractic here in Spokane WA injured almost at the same time. The Spokane Transit Authority bus doesn't come by at 7:07 am on Sundays as the schedule says. My primary care physician signature should be enough to be able to go to and from Mount Saint Michaels here in Spokane WA but apparently not which makes it difficult for me. I love the Vatican Council 1 Catholic Church but I would say it's not here. I thought I may return to Our Lady of Guadalupe Roman Catholic Church here in Spokane WA and I told them I am injured worse than before and they said stop the drama and shut up. The Novus Ordo Catholic Church are Heretical too. www.vaticancatholic.com I had hoped to go to Daily Mass at Our Lady of Guadalupe Roman Catholic Church here in Spokane WA but found them strangely mean and I had hoped they would help me with how my apartment management was defending Alonna S Love a very murderous neighbor for nearly 3 years. They all got together and forced me into Sacred Heart Hospital mental ward instead and I had hoped the police officers would have helped me but they only defend those who injured me. I find it strange. I hoped Our Lady of Guadalupe Roman Catholic Church here in Spokane WA would have helped me with my apartment management and upper management and neighbor Alonna S Love who worked together against me and no one would help me. They dismissed my pro se case and forced me into a mental institution. I asked in the year 2005 who owns this nice apartment complex and I was told Cozza does and he is a Novus Ordo Catholic and most apartment management comes from Catholic Charities if true I thought so. I told the police at the STA plaza and was told that's vehicular assault but you didn't tell us soon enough. Spokane Transit Authority doesn't advertise for Planned Parenthood Federation of America which is an ongoing Holocaust which is good. I love the Vatican Council 1 Catholic Church but it's not here that's for sure. read more

The drivers are constantly and consistently late, no matter the time of day, amount of riders, or the level of traffic that may be. Many times, I have been on a bus that barely escaped an accident due to the driver not seeming to pay attention, not following the floor of traffic or speed limit. And what makes it worse, there is literally No accountability or discipline for the drivers- I say that since if there was any, change for the better would have came about from all of the feedback that I and many others have given. I have stopped calling Customer service, and now just reach out to the leadership of Spokane Transit Authority, because if you go through typical channels, you will never see any change. The Plaza it self, is crowded abyss of chaos, filled with loiterers, and people who are spun out on drugs and causing fights. It is to the point that there have no seats or benches, and when I sat down on the floor, I got snapped at by security to sit on a a bench. When I motioned that they were all full they just walked away. It is so dirty in there that the whole building often smells like a roadside public bathroom. While they claim to be making improvements on their services that warrant fair increases and increases in sales tax-despite the fact that they are a private company, in nearly 10 years nothing has been legitimately improved. read more

Hope you don't need to be anywhere on time. Drivers usually don't show up at the stop until 10+ minutes after the schedule, if they show up. No alerts either. Not to mention they love riding so close to other cars, ​not sure how they even got the job. Plus their attitude, act like it's in an inconvenience way to stop for you. read more

First time rider and last time rider. Got on didn't have cash and my cards not touch pass. Thank God my daughters was. I asked for transfer slip so I could finish walking my daughter to work in the dark and get back on the bus. Told no rudely because I didn't pay cash. What's the difference we paid. Daughter told me to stay on bus and just ride it around back to our stop. Get downtown driver tells me to get off because out of service. What I still need to get home. It's 10 at night. I inform driver this is my first time and not sure what to do. He said get off bus and find the bay I need. Confused a nice transit officer sees me and walks me to wear I need to be tells me what bus and how long. Thank God my daughter had two dollars cash in her wallet which she left with me. Only to get back on the same bus with the same driver. Once again I asked if the bus goes down division and comes back up so I can get off at my stop. He just looked at me as if I'm stupid. I just go off a few blocks from home and walked. I realize drivers get tired but you took the job and customer service is part. Never again. read more

The bus drivers attitudes are consistently not to be desired. If they are all just having a bad day I hope they get better, because there are people that depend on their rides and should not be subject to poor perception of what a good day looks like. read more

I like all of the changes they are making to the system. I like that if you text the 4 digit stop number to 99689 it will tell you if the bus is running on time or how late it might be. I like how they remodeled The plaza and that everything is on the first floor. The only thing that would be better is if there were enough riders on the system to make it possible for it to run more frequently and later on weekends. read more

First of all, the bathrooms have no toilet seat covers. Their excuse, they get ripped off the wall. I've never seen a single seat cover holder ripped off a wall. I complained to the office people and they said that we were lucky the doors to the stalls were still on, we could do like the jail does and take them all off, I was told. Most of the doors don't lock in the women's bathroom. It's a complete fiasco over there, like they gave up caring. 2 Homeless people overdosed on the stalls and we all have to suffer for it. I don't go to the bathrooms there anymore, I head to the Mall. The workers there treat everyone like drug addicts they are rude and mean. I totally avoid the workers and don't even ask questions anymore because they either tell you the wrong answer or just don't know. I wish I could get paid to be a douche like them. read more

I've been taking the Sta bus quite a few years there has been a lot of change over the years. Some good changes and bad the time points do suck third time plants have never been very good..

Mostly convenient routes unless you're going to the valley on weekends or holidays.bus drivers don't wait for you to be seaTed before taking off, which has caused me to fall. Bus drivers stop short and speed over bumps, making it very uncomfortabl. they don't take pennys even though a penny is legal money in this country and if you have 5 pennies but not a nickel bus drivers will gleefully tell you to get off their bus. doesnot matter to them if you're having an emergency or need to make a time sensitive appointment. You're required to wear a mask, which is fine, but if you forgot your mask and they ran out they will leave you out in the cold, even if it's the last route of the day. Bottom line; bus drivers Can always give you a courtesy ride . They often choose not to. Even if you regularly ride and pay to ride read more

The service I receive or a lack there of is horrible. I feel as tho if a certain service is advertised like a time and the bus is beyond understandably late more often than not, I have not received the service I've paid for. The busses are littered with trash. Inefficient and filthy, the Spokane Transit Authority. read more

Over 30 years riding with STA and they're still a lot better than most transit companies I've experienced on both coasts. The things I liked about the transit companies in the other areas have also been implemented here, so I appreciate that! Plus, I've come to know many of the drivers, many of them about to retire this year! Unfortunately, this loyalty was recently tested. I was injured by a driver's gross negligence and their insurance reviewers determined that he was not at fault for my injuries. If I didn't have to ride, due to vision issues that prohibit me from driving, I probably wouldn't any more. I missed a lot of work and as I'd just started a new job, I was terrified I'd get fired for the amount of time I was off due to my injuries. Hmph. Some reward for being a regular commuter. read more

Most of the drivers are rude asf and will threaten to kick you off for the most miniscule things. Example* I was scrolling facebook and there was a video i started to play it and like the second the video started the driver was yelling out i want headphones in that the phone shut off or you can get off. And im just Like it was a 20 second long video....... Overpriced but isnt everything nowadays. But we need to use the bus so i guess the drivers can act however they want. read more

Everytime Ive rode the bus in recent days, the driver almost gets into an accident, doing things like slamming on breaks and running over curbs, nearly running over pedestrians, or swerving to dodge vehicles, and im honestly really afraid there may be an accident soon if this continues :( read more

I just want to say how nice the drivers are on the route 633 to the Amazon Fulfillment Center. The lady that was working this evening went out of her way to to hand me a mask because l am always forgetting some thing or misplacing my stuff. She has exceptional customer service and her attitude towards me made me feel so much better. She got off at 8pm l think. Short brown hair. So if you see her say hi an tell her shes doing a great job. Her an the elderly gentleman driver with shirt grey hair. I think he drives the 64vin Cheney or 63. Thank you to both of you for the awesome customer service. read more

Horrible bus company, poorly run on all levels, and the worst customer service agents this side of Comcast. I spent nearly a decade living there, and the buses were always late no matter what, even on days when there is light traffic. When the bus was running late, I would call to ask if they knew when the bus might arrive, and the agents would say, if you don't like it, move somewhere else, nd then they would tell me how bad it would be if we were in Los Angeles. I did move away, but I am sure it is still the same. The bus stops running a little after 7pm on Sunday, it seems like they are stuck in 1952/ I have seen drivers reading maps while driving, talking on the phone hile driving, I have even seen them shut the door 3 minutes before the bus is due to leave, and not let anyone else on, truly awful. read more
