New, lower Sounder train fares for ORCA Lift (low-income adult) passengers, youth (ages 6-18) and Regional Reduced Fare Permit holders (seniors age 65-plus and riders with disabilities) begin Monday, March 1.<\/p>\n

These fares for the regional commuter rail now align with the ORCA Lift, youth and reduced permit holders fares found on other Sound Transit services<\/a> like ST Express busses and Link light rail.<\/p>\n

The one-way fares for Orca Lift and youth will be $1.50. Senior\/disabled one-way fares will be $1. Previous fares for Orca Lift, youth and seniors ranged from $2.50 to $4.25 each way depending on the distance traveled.<\/p>\n

There is no change to regular adult one-way fares, which range between $3.25 and $5.75 depending on the distance traveled.<\/p>\n

Sounder South trains (Lakewood\/Tacoma–Seattle) make weekday round trips serving Lakewood, South Tacoma, Tacoma Dome, Puyallup, Sumner, Auburn, Kent, Tukwila and Seattle.
