Do you live, work, or go to college in Auburn, Federal Way, or Kent?

…or know someone who does?  Send them a link to this piece.

Through their Spot What’s Hot promo Metro is offering bus rider information packages including $10 ORCA cards for those who live, work or go to college in Auburn, Federal Way, or Kent (click on the city that applies, each has a unique signup portal).  Even if you already have an ORCA card, $10 is $10 and an empty card is handy to give to friends and family, or total strangers.  I usually carry an empty card on me and whenever someone at the platform asks me about buying a ticket for Link, I’ll give them the card and go through the steps on loading money on the E-purse.

I’m excited to see promos like these and the ORCA To-Go program.  If anything they need to be expanded.  The more cards area transit agencies can get into people’s hands the better, cheaper, more reliable service gets for everyone.

Here’s the flyer I saw that tipped me off, it has some more details.  While it says the offer expired on 31st, according to the website it has been extended to the 8th.

Offer good for one ORCA card per person, two per household. Offer only available to residents, students and employees in Auburn, Federal Way, or Kent.
You must be 18 or older to apply. Offer good while supplies last. Offer expires  November 8, 2013.
