Wi-Fi Pilot Project on Select Sound Transit Vehicles

Free Wi-Fi Internet Access on Select Express Routes and Sounder Cars

Look for the Wi-Fi icon near vehicle doors to see if your bus or train car is equipped with free wireless internet access.

Wi-Fi on ST Express buses in King County 

Sound Transit has equipped 34 of its articulated, diesel express buses (excluding hybrids) with wireless internet service. These buses run most frequently on ST Express routes 522, 545, and 577. Buses are scheduled for different routes and times according to need and availability. There is no guarantee that a Wi-Fi bus will consistently serve the same route and schedule.

This Wi-Fi is not a secure access.

Wi-Fi on select Sounder train cars

Sounder cars are equipped with Wi-Fi access on both Everett–Seattle and Tacoma–Seattle service. Sounder cars with 100, 300 and 400 series numbers are equipped. The series number is marked outside each car.

This Wi-Fi is not a secure access.

Limit use of streaming audio and video

Sound Transit’s onboard mobile Wi-Fi has limited bandwidth that is shared among all the users on your bus or train. Please be courteous to your fellow internet users by limiting your use of streaming audio and video.

NOTE: At any time, this free service may not be available despite the Wi-Fi icon on the Sound Transit vehicles.
