Many folks moving to Gig Harbor, or thinking of moving to Gig Harbor, often have questions about our transportation system. Many who are considering buying a home in Gig Harbor will be working in Seattle or Tacoma, and want to know what the commute will be like.
I've never ridden the public transit system in Gig Harbor, so I'd love to hear from those of you who have. I know that there are several options, ranging from Park and Rides to Van Pools to buses to trains to ferries. I'm just not sure which is the easiest and cheapest. I know that Pierce Transit runs several buses from Gig Harbor to Tacoma, and I know that Sound Transit has buses and trains from Tacoma to Seattle, and I think they both have some version of the van pool, but I can't tell you much about them.
I have ridden the ferry from Port Orchard and from Bainbridge Island to Seattle, but those were sight seeing trips for me, not commutes.
Any input from those of you who make the commute frequently would be welcome. I know that the drive isn't as bad now with the opening of the second Tacoma Narrows Bridge, but ride sharing can be easier and more eco-friendly.
