ST Express Bus Fares

ST Express bus fares are zone based. The cost depends on how many zones you travel though and your fare type (Adult, Youth, Senior/Disabled). 

Bus fares can be paid by cash at the farebox or by using an ORCA card, PugetPass, FlexPass, U-Pass, or GoPass. Drivers carry no change - please have exact fare ready. Follow the driver's direction to pay when you enter or leave the bus.
