Sound Transit route 532 'Everett / Bellevue'
532 Everett/Bellevue is an express bus route operated by Sound Transit in the Puget Sound area of Washington State. This route is operated by Community Transit under contract[1].
Route Details
This north-south express bus route runs between Everett and Bellevue via Lynnwood and Bothell. This route operates during peak hours only and shares a similar routing with route 535 Lynnwood/Bellevue; combined the two routes provide 10-15 minute service between Bellevue and Lynnwood.
The route has faced above average demand since 2008, a trend which is expected to continue with Microsoft moving more employees to Downtown Bellevue[2].
The originally planned expansion of peak hour service in fiscal year 2011 of four additional afternoon trips as identified in the 2009 Service Implementation Plan are expected to occur[3][4].
