$38. That's the yearly cost of my ORCA card, subsidized by my employer and the generous citizens of King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties who allow one penny out of their oppressive 10% sales tax to fund public transportation. I just wave it across that little gizmo there, and a green "pass" lights up.
This allows me free travel anytime, anywhere in those three counties. Everett to Lakewood, 75 miles, just once bus change; all with ORCA.
Named after the region's favorite marine animal. I wonder how long it took some public servant to come up with "One Regional Card for All."
