Confirm the route belongs to your city.
Match the destination shown on the bus.
Use the stop number, station bay or map pin.
Refresh the prediction before you leave.

Route 222 Connections in Redmond, Hollywood and Burbank
King County: Redmond Technology Station
Redmond Technology Station serves as an important transfer point for Eastside journeys. Allow sufficient walking time between buses, trains and station boarding areas.
Confirm the Route 222 bus bay and the travel direction rather than assuming every bus at the station travels to Cottage Lake.
King County: Downtown Redmond
Downtown Redmond Station is a useful place to connect between the Route 222 corridor and other regional services. Check the correct stop ID and transfer time before leaving a connecting bus or train.
LA Metro: Universal City/Studio City
Universal City/Studio City Station provides B Line access and connects to other local services. The official 222 PDF includes a station inset and notes the Universal Studios shuttle connection.

Check Detours, Snow Routes and Stop Closures
Wheelchair Access, Reduced Fares and Stop Conditions
Before traveling, check both the bus’s accessibility features and the boarding stop. A vehicle may support mobility devices while temporary sidewalk work or a relocated stop creates a separate access problem.
For accessible route planning, contact the operating agency if you need assistance determining the correct stop or alternate accessible boarding location.
