Starting January 1, 2025, the Seattle Center Monorail will raise its one-way fare for adults from $3.50 to $4.00. This change affects riders aged 19 to 64.
The cost for those with reduced rates, including youth (ages 6-18), seniors (65+), people with disabilities, Medicare cardholders, and active duty military, will go up from $1.75 to $2.00. This fare increase is part of a larger discussion about the need for more investment in the transit system and concerns about the affordability of public transportation. The monorail, a symbol of the city's mid-century vision for the future, offers a smooth ride above the traffic.
Seattle Center wants to hear from the public about a proposed fare increase for the monorail. Residents can share their thoughts through an online feedback form on the Seattle Center Monorail website. This is an opportunity for the community to influence the final decision on the new fares.
