#99 Bill Point
Schedule Timepoint Change & Drop Offs on Request in PM
Effective Sunday, February 14

Kitsap Transit is revising one timepoint of the #99 Bill Point schedule effective Sunday, February 14. The timepoint at Rockaway Beach & Old Creosote will be changed to Old Creosote & Bill Point. The times at Bill Point will be one minute earlier than at Rockaway Beach. The bus will serve all stops at essentially the same time it does currently.

The change is being made to provide a safe 'end point' to turn the bus around on PM trips if all the riders have already deboarded. After reaching Old Creosote & Bill Point the bus can either continue the route and drop off passengers on request, or, if the bus is empty, simply turn around and return to the Bainbridge Ferry Terminal.

REMINDER
Paper Pass Sales & KT Reduced Fare IDs Eliminated

Paper Pass Sales Eliminated
Paper monthly bus passes are no longer available for sale. Passes are only sold loaded on ORCA cards. ORCA cards are available at Kitsap Transit’s Customer Service Office. A pass can be loaded when you get your card. Cards are also available at www.orcacard.com, by mail, or by calling 1-888-988-6722. Orders for new cards by web, mail or phone can take 7-10 days. If you do not have an ORCA card yet, and plan to purchase a January monthly pass, you should get your card in person at Kitsap Transit’s Customer Service Office or other ORCA Customer Service Office.

Some employers and agencies will continue to issue paper passes to their employees and clients until they convert their business to ORCA. These can include TIP passes, U-Passes, PugetPasses and Kitsap Transit monthly passes. These passes will continue to be valid.

Kitsap Transit Reduced Fare ID Cards Eliminated
Pink Kitsap Transit Reduced Fare ID Cards will not be valid for reduced cash fare or to purchase a reduced fare monthly bus pass after December 31, 2009. ID cardholders must convert to an ORCA card to keep their fare discount.

Visit Kitsap Transit’s Customer Service Office to exchange your pink ID card for an ORCA card. Low income and youth riders will receive a Reduced Fare ORCA card. Senior and disabled riders will receive a Regional Reduced Fare Permit ORCA card. Load the card with E-Purse and pay your fare from the purse to receive the reduced fare. Paying from E-purse also gives you a free 2-hour transfer.

Regional Reduced Fare Permits will continue to be valid for reduced cash fare when shown to the driver. However, to receive a free 2-hour transfer, you’ll need to switch to a Regional Reduced Fare Permit ORCA card and pay from E-purse.

Riders who use ACCESS services only should not get an ORCA card. Please pay cash or order your monthly fare through Kitsap Transit’s Customer Service Office.
