Roundtrip fares are $4 for adults, $2 for seniors (65+), disabled, or persons with Medicare card, $1.50 for youths (ages 5-12), and free for children 4 and under. One-way fares are half of what a roundtrip fare costs. Cash or check only – ORCA card not accepted.

The Monorail carries approximately 1.8 million riders each year. It was built for the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair and celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012.
