The days of not having exact change, cash, or an ORCA card to hop on a bus are long gone? King County Metro has made getting on and off a bus super easy with their KC Metro Transit GO Ticket mobile app. Use your smartphone to buy your bus, rail, or water taxi ticket. Get your tickets electronically in an instant! Like cash, you can use your Transit GO Ticket to transfer to/from any Metro bus for up to 2 hours – from the time you activate your ticket.
Using the Transit GO Ticket app is so easy.

Part of a greater story.
We’re proactively adding bus trips on routes that’ll be impacted when the SR 99 Alaskan Way Viaduct closes on January 11, 2019. As the roadways become more congested, added transit service will be necessary to move people efficiently through the limited roadway space.
To help relieve some of the downtown travel pressure, we’ve invested in projects and programs to ease the traffic constraints in the next five years. Learn more about the Period of Maximum Constraint here.
