Paying for Others – I am traveling with friends/family. How do I pay for a fare for more than one person on a single ORCA card?
To pay fare for someone else, you must have E-purse value on your ORCA card. On the bus: When you board tell the driver you need to pay for additional people before you tap your ORCA card. The driver will set the card reader to deduct the fares for your companions from your E-purse. On Link or Sounder: Use the E-purse value on your ORCA card to purchase a paper train ticket for each companion at a ticket vending machine. Each person should be prepared to present their paper ticket upon request by the fare inspector.
