Seattle Buses vs Make the Ferry

Simple. Built by local commuters, for local commuters. Seattle Buses helps you see where your bus is before you head to the stop. Follow live buses, compare your usual routes, and check estimated arrivals so you can time your trip with less guesswork. Don't just miss the bus that's coming around the corner. See what's approaching and whether another bus is close behind. If a bus pulls up busy, check where the next one is before deciding whether to wait. Seattle Buses shows bus locations and estimated arrivals, not passenger crowding levels.

They are not official Metro arrival predictions or scheduled departure times. Actual arrivals vary with traffic, stops, and service changes. Live vehicle availability depends on Metro’s real-time feed. Supported routes: 1, 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 17, 24, 28, 31, 32, 33, 40, 44, 45, 62, 65, 70, C, D, and E.

Will you make the ferry? Make the Ferry is an independent app for Washington State Ferries riders. Instead of raw numbers, it estimates your odds of making a specific sailing and tells you when to leave. On Seattle-Bainbridge, Seattle-Bremerton and Edmonds-Kingston it combines your drive time, the boat's vehicle space (from WSDOT's public data), how fast the line is filling, and reported delays into odds and a leave-by time. These are estimates, not promises. Always check WSF before you travel. NEW: WATER TAXI See Water Taxi sailings between Seattle, West Seattle and Vashon: the published timetable, delays and cancellations the operator announces, boat positions when they are reporting, and whether you can reach the dock before your boat sails. Location is used once, only when you tap My location, and is not stored. NEW: BUSES AND LINK After a walk-on check, tap "Taking a bus or Link?" to see your boat, your stop and your bus or Link on one map. A bus shows Live only when it is actually reporting its position. A timetable time says Scheduled. ALSO - Leave-by reminders for a sailing you pick - A map of WSF boats - Terminal cameras, so you can see the line before you drive - Walk-on odds that say how long you have before boarding closes - Fauntleroy-Vashon-Southworth and Point Defiance-Tahlequah: schedules, boat positions and delay tags, but no odds - No account, no ads, free Made by a ferry rider, a Bainbridge Island native. Make the Ferry is not affiliated with or endorsed by Washington State Ferries, WSDOT or King County. Ferry data comes from WSDOT's public Traveler API.
