1. Three Ways to Prepare:

📣 You can take three simple steps today to prepare for Intercity Transit's bus system redesign, coming May 3! Get ready for more frequent buses, faster travel times, more direct routes, and expanded service to new areas.

1. Plan upcoming trips using a Trip Planner. Intercity Transit's online Trip Planner will now let you see exactly how the redesigned system will work for you. You can also use your favorite transit app (e.g. Google Maps or the Transit App) to plan trips that occur on or after May 3 so you can become familiar with your updated travel options. Visit intercitytransit.com or use the link in @IntercityTransit's bio to use their trip planner!

2. Sign up for Rider Alerts for your new routes. With Rider Alerts, you’ll receive timely notifications about changes, detours, and construction updates for the routes you rely on. Sign up for Rider Alerts at intercitytransit.com/subscribe. To determine your new routes, visit the routes and schedules page and consult the routes table at intercitytransit.com/redesign under “Maps and Schedules.”

3. Sign up for Rider News. Stay up to date with the latest Intercity Transit news, tools, and resources as they’re released. This is the easiest way to keep informed as we approach the service change and beyond. Sign up for Rider News at intercitytransit.com/subscribe.

Intercity Transit is excited to bring you a better, faster, and more connected transit experience. Thank you for riding the bus—and for taking a few moments to prepare for May 3. If you have any questions or need a hand with future trip planning, please reach out to customer service at 360-786-1881 or customerservice@intercitytransit.com.
