	On January 1, 2010 all transfers and passes switched to ORCA TRANSFERS: Paper transfers will not be issued or accepted by Sound Transit starting Jan. 1. Riders using cash instead of an ORCA card to transfer between buses and trains will pay the full fare for each leg of their ride. ST Express buses will no longer issue paper transfer slips. Sounder and Central Link paper tickets will no longer carry any transfer value for rides on other trains or buses. Paper transfers from Metro or Pierce Transit will no longer be accepted aboard Sound Transit buses or trains, and Sound Transit train tickets will not be accepted by Community Transit, Everett Transit, Metro, or Pierce Transit. Sounder and Link tickets will only be valid between stations printed on the ticket. One-way Sounder and Link tickets will only be valid for 2 hours. Switch to ORCA and get the transfer credit for your connecting bus or train trip. By using ORCA to pay the fare, your transfer will be automatically calculated and valid for two hours on any bus or train. PASSES: TVMs will issue passes only on ORCA cards. Other passes will be accepted until they expire.
