Experience a New Level of Transit
Introducing City Line — Spokane’s first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route.
City Line combines frequency and efficiency in a modern streetcar-like experience. The six-mile route between Spokane’s historic Browne’s Addition and Spokane Community College will connect through downtown and the University District, including Gonzaga University.
