It is exceptionally easy to get around downtown Seattle without a car.
Bus stops have small yellow signs designating route numbers, and many have schedules posted.
Exact fare is required. Seniors, youths, and handicapped riders are eligible for discount cards. Printed schedules and monthly passes are available at Metro headquarters and the Westlake Center bus tunnel station. One of Metro's most valued services is the Ride Free Area in downtown's commercial core. In the area bordered by the waterfront, I-5, Jackson Street to the south, and Battery Street to the north, you can ride free on any Metro bus until 7pm.
