King County, Washington sent this bulletin at 09/30/2020 05:22 PM PDT

Metro will resume charging fares on Thursday, October 1.

While Metro has added several new safety measures, tapping your ORCA card is the fastest and healthiest way to pay your fare.

Starting Thursday, if you board at a stop that has an ORCA reader, please tap your card before boarding and if possible, board at the back door.

At all other stops, or if you need to tap your card on-board or pay a cash fare, please board at the front door to pay.

Please wear a mask, and abide by posted safety guidelines and other information.

Ride safely
Metro thanks riders for following safety policies and guidelines, including:

  • Wearing a mask or face covering is required in public places, on transit vehicles and at transit stops.
  • Stay home if you are sick.
  • Maintain 6 feet of distance from others.
  • Observe and abide by directions provided by posted signs and decals.

Watch for new or changing information.
