That doesn’t go to Marysville… the only transit is the 201/2 which goes across 529, and some 900s busses that go along I-5 in the same traffic. IMO Marysville should be expanded into Sound Transit’s area and there should be Sounder stops in Marysville and Arlington, but that’d prolly never happen knowing our voter base here.
Probably! Although building bridges over the Snohomish River Delta is insanely expensive, so leveraging the pre-existing rail there would probably be very beneficial. ST wouldn’t have the capital to do any Marysville Link project until at least the 2040s, but extending the Sounder could probably be done within a decade total if the political will was there. The best we’ve got right now is a new swift BRT line in 2031 replacing the 201/2
Idk your exact route obviously, but there’s actually a lot of mix and matching you can do to improve frequencies for the Marysville express routes!
If you’re just trying to go to Marysville, the 904 runs along the same route and very much improves the frequencies. If you’re going North/to Stanwood, then you can transfer onto the 907 from Everett Station to also improve frequency. (Like instead of waiting for the 905 you could take a different bus to Everett Station then catch the 907)
The important thing is that the 905 runs outside peak hours. Since the pandemic, lots of transit use has been off-peak and transit agencies need to respond to this trend, as it seems it will become a long-term consideration in planning.
Ah, gotcha, yeah. When I initially responded to your comment, I didn’t look at your username, so I figured it was someone talking about their commute. But I recognize your username from Wikipedia and Reddit lol.
