With Seattle hosting the 2023 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, King County Metro, Sound Transit, Kitsap Transit, and the Seattle Department of Transportation Streetcar will go fare-free on Monday, July 10 and Tuesday, July 11. Many transit options will also provide additional service to support riders when available.
Free fares will help fans get to events, shorten boarding times, and welcome new riders to transit. The fare-free days will run during regular service hours to help fans get to the Home Run Derby (July 10) and the MLB All-Star Game (July 11).
