(4) Which transit provider did you use? o Sound Transit: One-County Fare – $2.75 | Multi-County Fare – $3.75 o King County Metro: Off-Peak – $2.50 | One-Zone Peak – $2.75 | Two-zone Peak – $3.25 Free Mobile Apps & Websites for Commute Planning: ONE BUS AWAY Download the app for iPhone, Android and Windows phones to access up-to-date bus arrival times so you aren’t running or waiting for the next Metro or Sound Transit bus.
