charge for an ORCA card beginning Feb. 1. 

Instead of using cash to pay your fare, put cash value or a monthly pass on
an ORCA card. The ORCA card replaces bus tickets and PugetPasses, and once
you have one it's easy to add value. ORCA automatically applies credit from
your first trip when you transfer to another bus or train within two hours.
