Intercity Transit is your go-to for getting around Olympia — home to a vibrant arts and culture scene, stunning natural beauty, and a friendly and welcoming community.
Discover Olympia with Intercity Transit: Free, Accessible & Convenient
We offer a variety of bus routes, a door-to-door service for people with disabilities, and a vanpool program. We serve the communities of Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, and Yelm.
Whether you're a visitor or a resident, Intercity Transit can help you get where you need to go. Our buses are clean, comfortable, and reliable. Our drivers are friendly and helpful, and best of all: our riders ride free!
We encourage you to explore all that Olympia has to offer and look forward to seeing you on board!
In 2020, Intercity Transit did something pretty cool: we made all our rides free for everyone! Now, instead of paying each time you hop on board, the cost is covered through sales tax revenue.
This has made a huge difference in our community. More people are riding with us, which is great for the environment because it means fewer cars on the road. It's also easier for everyone to get around, no matter their budget. It's a win-win for making our cities healthier and more welcoming.
We're excited to see how this "fare-free" system continues to benefit everyone in the years to come. It's all part of our mission to make getting around easy, accessible, and good for the planet.
