Trick-or-Treat on transit: How to get to Halloween events without driving
Terrified of finding parking at your local Halloween trunk-or-treat? Let Kitsap Transit help you out! Our buses can get you to Halloween events across the Peninsula.
Note: Kitsap Transit routes in Poulsbo and Bainbridge Island will operate detours around their respective Halloween events, but buses will still drop you off within a short walk of the event! You can see exactly where our buses are operating by checking out our Interactive System Map.
Transit Tips
-
Tap to Pay: Simply tap your credit card, debit card, or device with a digital wallet on the bus or ferry reader. Tap to Pay isn’t accepted on Washington State Ferries, the Seattle Monorail, or a few other services, which you can find here.
An ORCA card: Learn how to get a card and add value on ORCA’s website.
If you’re traveling with a large group, the TransitGO Ticket app will let you buy tickets for multiple riders.
Don’t forget: Transit is free for everyone 18 and under!
