About fares
King County Metro Transit and Sound Transit are working together to provide integrated transit service in southeast Seattle and southwest King County. Sound Transit is the provider of ST Express regional bus service and will be the provider of Link light rail service, and the Sound Transit board sets fares for those services. Metro Transit provides local bus service in this area and the Metropolitan King County Council sets Metro fares.
Metro Transit, Sound Transit, and five other transit agencies in the central Puget Sound region are working together to develop a coordinated fare payment system called ORCA (One Regional Card for All). ORCA will enable customers to use their ORCA fare card for seamless transfers on multiple transportation systems including bus, rail and ferries in King, Pierce, Snohomish and Kitsap counties. ORCA is scheduled to be in operation in early 2009.
