Carl's day

Buses to the other base are filtered out. Which gate is worked out per route below.

Most Worker/Driver stops are residential corners with no lot. Within this many minutes on foot, walking is treated as the way he gets there — no car, no parking, no cost.

How early he wants to be standing there.

Only applied to the drive-alone option.

Worst-case multiplier on free-flow drive times. Applied on a curve: near 1.00 before 4:30 AM, ramping to this by 7:30 AM. A 5 AM drive is not a 7 AM drive.

Inside the yard — gate to his desk

Each route drops him at a specific gate, and the app uses that gate's number. Where a stop is near two gates it takes the quicker way in, including the walk between them.

Base shuttle runs every 15 min, so about 20 door to desk. Walking it instead is nearer 30. 22 of the 25 Worker/Driver routes drop here.

His closest gate. Kitsap's feed has no stop here, so it only gets used when he can walk to it from a downtown drop-off.

Guess — please correct. Used by Early North, Early South and Route 219.

E-bike assumptions

Realistic door-to-door average including stops.

Round trip must fit, or he charges at the yard.

Gear on, lock up, change at work.

Carl hasn't ridden in urban traffic. The default also counts a full-lane-width shoulder or wide pavement — but note OpenStreetMap records that a shoulder exists, not how wide, so check the road yourself.

How much of the ride must have a separated path alongside before it counts as comfortable.

Kitsap allows e-bikes only if they fit the front rack.

Money

IRS-style: gas, wear, tires, depreciation.

Electricity, tires, chains, brake pads.

Worker/Driver and Kitsap Transit fares are covered by the Navy TIP benefit (up to $330/month) for eligible DoN employees, so transit options are costed at $0 out of pocket. Confirm Carl's eligibility with his worksite POC. See the caveats tab.

Every Kitsap Transit Worker/Driver route

All 25 routes, morning and afternoon, straight from Kitsap Transit's GTFS feed — real stop names, real times, and whether the bus will actually pick up there. Times marked * are interpolated by the agency rather than published timepoints.
