2 Line riders looking to access SeaTac/Airport or other stations south of downtown Seattle must transfer to the 1 Line at International District/Chinatown. Riders can expect a trip from Redmond Technology Station to Bellevue Downtown in 13 minutes and from Bellevue Downtown to Symphony Station in Seattle in 25 minutes.

Bus routes that have updated schedules
More frequent and reliable service throughout the day – Link trains will arrive about every 8-10 minutes between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m.
More seats and overall capacity
