Some of you may have remembered last spring when the Evergreen Nightline began running. It ran on Fridays and Saturdays between midnight and 3AM, and on Sundays between 9PM and midnight.

During the 11-week pilot period, the Nightline carried over 3600 people, for an average of about 38 riders an hour. The ridership was excellent, and the usage was consistently high. On several occasions, the Nightline was almost at full capacity.

This Fall the Nightline will begin again under contract with Intercity Transit and Evergreen. Several changes are being considered, including the changing of route times and the route itself. These are a breakdown of service changes that are proposed based on input from students at Evergreen:

 Revised Route

• Condense downtown service (loop back into downtown at Plum Street instead of Puget Street)
• Serve both the Dorm Loop and Red Square.

• Leave TESC Campus at 12:00M, 12:30AM, and 1:30AM
Changed from existing: 12M, 1AM, 2AM


• Leave Downtown at 12:00M, 1:00AM, and 2:00AM
Changed from existing: 12:30AM, 1:30AM, 2:30AM

Possibility to add a 2:30AM departure from campus, and a 3AM departure from downtown.

How important is late-night bus service to you, and what do you think would increase efficiency and use?
