Fare Zones
ST Express uses a fare zone system, which comprises 3 regions:
- King County
- Pierce County
- Snohomish County
The fares are as follows:
- One county-$2.50 (18-64) $1.25 (6-18); $0.75 (65+/Disabled)
- Multi-County-$3.50 (18-64) $2.50 (6-18); $1.50 (65+/Disabled).
A valid youth ORCA card required for youth fares when paying with ORCA card. A valid Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP) required for those over 65 or with a disability. New RRFP's are issued as ORCA cards.
Paper transfers are no longer accepted or given out on Sound Transit routes. Passengers can use an ORCA card to transfer between ST routes or other agencies and will receive an electronic transfer valid for two hours from initial payment.

Famous quotes containing the words fare and/or zones:
“Let those talk of poverty and hard times who will in the towns and cities; cannot the emigrant who can pay his fare to New York or Boston pay five dollars more to get here ... and be as rich as he pleases, where land virtually costs nothing, and houses only the labor of building, and he may begin life as Adam did? If he will still remember the distinction of poor and rich, let him bespeak him a narrower house forthwith.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
