Q: How do bus transfers work?

A: We want you to pay just one fare to complete a one-way trip to your destination, even if you use more than one Kitsap Transit bus, local Foot Ferry, or Fast Ferry route to get there.

ORCA card users who pay their regular or reduced fare from E-purse are entitled to a free 2-hour transfer. ORCA transfers are good in any direction of travel at any location. Transfers are free between Kitsap Transit vehicles. When transferring to a Pierce, Metro, Community, Sound or Everett Transit vehicle within 2 hours, riders will be given credit for the fare paid, paying only the difference in fares.

If you pay your fare with cash, ask your operator for a transfer when you board your bus or Foot Ferry. A paper transfer is valid on Kitsap Transit services only, accepted at transfer centers or transfer points and is good for the next connecting bus or Foot Ferry. Paper transfers are NOT valid on Kitsap Transit Fast Ferries.
