Starting September 1, Metro youth fare will increase by $0.50 for all zones and all times.

Youth fare covers children ages 6 to 18 and will now cost $1.25. Children under the age 5 and younger continue to ride free.

In June, the King County Council voted unanimously to raise rates by 50 cents.
According to Metro, the increase modifies aligns Metro's youth fares with Sound Transit's bus and light rail fares.
