In my Metro fare increase reminder I forgot to mention that selected Sound Transit fares are actually going down next month.
The “reduced” (Senior/disabled) 2-zone ST Express fare will drop from $1.25 to 75 cents, in line with the Metro rate. Central Link reduced fares will be a flat 75 cents instead of varying between $0.75 and $1.25.
It’s great to see this fare coordination for the senior/disabled community. According to the link from ST’s website, additional coordination will occur in June with adult and youth fares.
