The C Line began service on September 29, 2012, running between downtown Seattle, West Seattle, Fauntleroy and the Westwood Village Shopping Center in the Westwood neighborhood. The line runs mainly via 3rd Avenue, the Alaskan Way Viaduct, the West Seattle Bridge, California Ave SW and Fauntleroy Way SW.

The C Line is interlined with the D Line. Upon reaching Seneca Street & 3rd Avenue in downtown, northbound C Line buses change signs to continue north as the D Line. When southbound D Line buses reach 3rd Avenue & Cedar Street in downtown they change signs to continue south as the C Line.
