On July 1st, full fares resumed on all Sound Transit services

ST Express buses transitioned to a single flat fare of $3.25 for all Adult riders, regardless of distance traveled. By eliminating fare zones, this change increases fares by 50 cents for trips within one county, and reduces fares by 50 cents for trips that cross county lines. Find out how this affects you on our ST Express flat fares page.

Sound Transit continues to operate with a reduced service level

More information on the specific trips canceled can be found on our Reduced Service page.

During the COVID-19 response riders should take into account that trip planning resources such as Google maps, One Bus Away and other applications and websites may not have accurate information for all trips, including service reductions affecting other agencies.

Responding to COVID-19 concerns

Read our Platform blog post for the latest information on how Sound Transit is responding to COVID-19 concerns.

ST Express routes 511, 512 and 513 will not serve Mountlake Terrace from July 6 through late November. The freeway station (Bays 6 & 7) will be closed, but the parking garage will remain open for riders using other routes. 

A free, temporary shuttle (Route 508) will provide nonstop service seven days per week between Mountlake Terrace and downtown Seattle. Board the shuttle at Bay 3 on 236th Street SW. 

Route 508 - Mountlake Terrace Shuttle schedule

The Lynnwood Link Extension will open in 2024, extending light rail 8.5 miles from Northgate to Lynnwood, with two stations in Shoreline, one in Mountlake Terrace and one in Lynnwood.

Sound Transit’s language line is available to provide translation assistance for limited English proficiency persons: 1-800-823-9230

Due to reduced staffing availability to operate service as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sound Transit is operating with service reductions on several ST Express routes. 

In order to preserve service on more heavily traveled routes, ST Express routes 541, 544, 555, 556 and 567 have been temporarily canceled.

Sound Transit remains committed to working closely with its partners to continue serving the public. Efforts will continue to prioritize serving riders who depend on Sound Transit’s services, including seniors, people with disabilities, Title VI protected populations (race, color, national origin), low-income and limited-English-proficiency populations. To the greatest extent possible, we will continue to run trains and buses at our earliest and latest normal weekday hours. At this time normal service will continue on Tacoma Link light rail.

ST Express routes 510, 511, 512, 513, 522, 532, 535, 542, 545, 550, 566, 580, 586, 590, 592, 595 and 596 are operating on reduced schedules. Please find more information on the specific trips canceled at https://www.soundtransit.org/ride-with-us/changes-affect-my-ride/reduced-service
