More than a third of riders aren’t paying fares on buses or streetcars, King County Metro reported, but it will soon begin cracking down. Starting March 31, the agency will deploy fare enforcement officers to ask people if they’ve paid to ride.
King County Metro will send out 30 fare enforcement officers from among its 175 transit security officers on RapidRide routes, the Seattle Streetcar and its other busiest bus routes, the agency reported.
