Trip Planning Tips NORTH SOUND CONNECTIONS GUIDE Plan for time or price: Faster, more direct travel often costs more than ser- vices that are slower or that require transfers. If you can travel at a leisurely pace, you may save money. TRAVEL Plan backward: If you must meet a deadline at your destination, NORTH PUGET SOUND begin by finding the train or bus that meets that deadline. Then plan connections backward to determine when to depart. This technique is useful for trips with transfers. CAR-FREE
Start small: If you’re new to car-free travel, start with a few short trips close to home to become familiar with the transportation systems. Travel with a friend, a phone and a little extra cash to allow flexibility and give you the option of taking a different route home.
Allow extra time: When planning a connection between different services (between train and ferry, for example), allow enough time for the transfer. If traveling late in the day, prepare a back-up plan in case of weather or other disruptions.
