SEATTLE — Starting today, seven transit agencies in the Puget Sound area begin using a common electronic fare card called ORCA or One Regional Card for All.
Riders can use the smart card on any bus, train or ferry operated by Metro Transit, Sound Transit, Community Transit, Everett Transit, Pierce Transit, Kitsap Transit and Washington State Ferries.
The cards can be loaded with up to $300. Passengers tap the card on an electronic reader that automatically deducts the fare.
Users can go online to add money and manage their account.
