RapidRide B Line

I like this RapidRide route. It is the only one servicing the Eastside. B Line travels between Bellevue Transit Center and Redmond Transit Center. The bus services downtown Bellevue, Crossroads, Overlake, Microsoft and downtown Redmond neighborhoods.
The route replaced two King County Metro routes, 230 and 253. Basically combining these services to offer more frequent service that were faster as they skipped bus stops that used to be serviced by the old routes.
The RapidRide buses are new and have free Wi-​Fi. You can also swipe your ORCA card to pay for your fare at the bus stop card reader before the bus arrives. This allows you to board the bus at one of the exit doors rather than having to pay at the driver side door upon entering.
In general, buses run every 15 minutes for most of the day. During weekday rush hours, there is service every 10 minutes. While in the late evenings, there is a 30 minute wait. I don’t use the bus often, but do when I am headed to the airport as I can take this bus to connect with the Sound Transit route 560 at Bellevue Transit Center. Though it takes longer to get to the airport, it saves me a bundle over parking at or taking a taxi/​Über to the airport.
More often than not, it takes longer to get where you need to on public transportation. But I think this RapidRide line is great since it is convenient and is helping to minimize the delay. Particularly useful when I need to get to downtown Bellevue in a timely manner.

Pros:
Frequent service
New buses
Free Wi-​Fi
Few stops
Unless you’re paying cash you can board through any door.
Cons:
People still line up to enter at the front door slowing the bus down
Route meanders through Microsoft
May not stop where you want

VROOM!!!
Now that is one fast bus.
If you need to get from Bellevue to Redmond via public transport this is the way to go! Total trip takes approximately 25 min? During rush hour that is leaps and bounds faster than driving on the 520 even.
Buses leave every 15 min — super handy!
Vroom vroom indeed.
