Flat fares for ORCA LIFT, youth, seniors and riders with disabilities were implemented in July 2018. The new fare system aligns ST Express service with the flat fares charged by other regional agencies, including King County Metro and Community Transit. By eliminating fare zones, this change increases fares by 50 cents for trips within one county, and reduces fares by 50 cents for trips that cross county lines.
