Inter-Zone route 476 is operated between Zone 4 and 7, as part of the revamped Leafy Island transit network. As part of expanding service across the Islands to/from Zone 7, this route will connect Eastmallow and Central to the southern coast of Leafy Island and Rainbow, without the need for transfers. Service began on July 25, 2020. In addition, the route also bypasses Senpai, allowing for a shorter journey for passengers travelling between the two points, although it bypasses Northern Interchange in Zone 4.
The route is operated by City Scape Bus and Horizon Group, which have the contract for most routes serving Zone 7.
In V2.0 update, the route adds 6 special departure routes and become one of the complicated routes in Sunshine Islands. In rush hours, the route provides service with skipping Leafy University for eastbound trips and stopping Leafy University for westbound trips. Also, some special departures would stop at Ambling Peak additionally. It is notable that the route which via Ambling Peak would not pick up passengers at Tomb Sweeping Day.
The main line of the route partially belongs to school routes, as some intervals of departures would be longer at school holidays. While the special departures (476#*, 476* and 476%) are school routes which won't provide service or provide weekend service at school holidays.
