Seattle-area transit riders can now add ORCA payment cards to Google Wallet

Transit riders hopping on a bus or ferry across the Seattle area can now use a digital ORCA card via their Google Wallet on Android and Wear OS devices.

The cards enable users to pay for transit, fund their accounts, ​purchase a pass, ​view transactions, and see trip history all within the Google Wallet app, and serve as a replacement for plastic ORCA cards.

Users will have to check to make sure cards issued by businesses, schools, and organizations are able to be added to Google Wallet. Customers can contact their issuer for such information.

Participating transit agencies include: Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and Washington State Ferries.
