Vashon ferry service fare procedure change
Beginning Wednesday, May 9, 2007, Washington State Ferries will implement a new fare collection procedure that will affect all passengers on Metro bus Route 118 and Route 119 heading to Vashon.
All passengers, except as noted below, will be required to exit the bus upon arrival at the end of the ferry dock and pay a cash fare or have their fare media scanned at the passenger terminal.
Passengers who have a valid Ship-to-Shore PugetPass (good for both bus and ferry fare), and any disabled passengers, will not be required to exit the bus. Passengers who have paid in cash upon boarding the bus (exact bus fare and ferry fare together) may also stay on the coach at the ferry terminal.
All Puget Pass holders, those who paid the full cash fare, and any disabled passengers must have their pass, transfer, or fare ready to show a Washington State Ferries employee, who will visually check the Puget Passes and scan any disabled passenger's fare media using a portable scanning device.
Passengers who have exited the bus will be allowed to re-board when the bus is on the boat and after cars have boarded the ferry.
Bus passengers who are starting their trip at the ferry will pay their ferry fare, walk onto the boat and board the bus. Those passengers will pay their bus fare when they exit the bus on Vashon.
