Qualified riders are issued an ORCA card to pay their fare. Cash or paper tickets are not available for this fare category. You can find more information on King County's website or by calling Buy a paper ticket at a pay station, located at each Streetcar station.

Pay stations accept credit cards or coins. You can purchase up to five single-ride or day pass tickets in one transaction. You do not need to tap your card again when you exit the train, at most stations; however, if you are boarding at Terry and Mercer northbound, you will need to tap your card when exiting at Lake Union Park or Fairview and Campus Drive. Purchase or refill a card.

You can use your smartphone as your ticket by purchasing a one using the Transit Go app. When you're ready to board, simply activate your purchased ticket and get on.
