BellHop, Bellevue's free all-electric, point-to-point, downtown transportation service, announces expanded operating hours, marking a significant enhancement to its successful sustainable transportation initiative. The new schedule extends service availability throughout the week:

  • Monday through Thursday: 7:30 AM - 9:00 PM  
  • Friday: 7:30 AM - 10:00 PM  
  • Saturday: 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM

Since its launch in August 2023, BellHop has provided over 123,000 rides across downtown Bellevue, serving a diverse mix of users including office workers commuting to Bellevue's thriving business district, tourists exploring local attractions, and residents running daily errands. The service, operated in partnership with Circuit, Visit Bellevue, Amazon, and the City of Bellevue, has covered more than 113,407 miles while preventing 59.46 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions – equivalent to removing 13 passenger vehicles from the road for a year or saving 6,144 gallons of gasoline. 

"BellHop's success demonstrates our community's commitment to sustainable transportation solutions," said Brad Jones, Executive Director of Visit Bellevue. “With our new service hours, we're making it even easier for people to choose eco-friendly transportation. BellHop has proven to be a convenient last-mile solution for office workers, an eco-friendly option for tourists exploring the city, and a reliable service for residents.” 

The service operates within a six-mile perimeter of downtown Bellevue, connecting residents, Bellevue’s workforce, and visitors to key destinations including: 

  • Bellevue Botanical Garden 
  • Meydenbauer Bay Park 
  • Meydenbauer Center 
  • The Spring District 
  • Bellevue Farmers Market (added September 2024) 

BellHop's fleet of Waev GEM all-electric vehicles has become an integral part of Bellevue's transportation network and has been especially valuable during major events and conferences, supporting Bellevue's growing business community while reducing traffic congestion through efficient ride pooling.
