Employee shuttles across Seattle Metro
A recurring shuttle is priced differently from a one-off charter. The number is built from the real cost of a vehicle and driver on your route and days per week, not from a day rate, which is why a five day a week route costs far less per day than a Tuesday and Thursday route on the same mileage. Fixed costs spread across the days you actually run, so the ladder from two days a week to five is worth seeing in full before you commit.
Seattle routes usually fall into three shapes. Park and ride to campus, with the lot on the cheap side of a bridge and the campus on the expensive side. Station to campus, connecting light rail at Tukwila International Boulevard, Angle Lake, Northgate or the Eastside line to an office park nobody can walk to. And shift change at Boeing Everett or Renton and across the Kent and Auburn warehouse belt, where the schedule is set by the shift, not by traffic. One note on permits: the city of Seattle requires a shuttle vehicle permit for regular fixed-route service on city streets and excludes one-off charter and sightseeing work, so ask the operator to confirm the permit for a recurring in-city route.
