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.

Vanpool

The monthly cost of riding a Kitsap Transit vanpool is determined by the size of the van and the number of daily round-trip miles the van travels. The total fare is divided among the members of the vanpool. Click here for the vanpool fare chart.
