Transit Options

Since the turn of the century in 2000, the City of Aberdeen has heavily incentivized public transportation for its citizens, doubling the capacity of the Aberdeen Motorbus Company (AMB) within 10 years. Although the majority of routes are operated by AMB, subsidies from the municipal government has introduced local routes such as the Washington Bridge Shuttle and encouraged intercity coach services such as Flixbus America to extend service into Downtown Aberdeen (Pacific Central Station) and the International Airport.
