SEATTLE — Virtual transit cards are now available in Google Wallet on Andriod devices, ORCA announced earlier this week.
Transit riders can now pay for transit, fund their accounts, purchase a pass, view transactions and see trip history all within the Google Wallet app.
In order to access the new features:
- Open Google Wallet
- Select Add to Wallet
- Choose Transit pass
- Search for "ORCA"
- Tap ORCA
Existing card owners can transfer their cards into digital cards. The physical card will be deactivated following the transfer. New adult cards can be added to the virtual wallet at the same cost as purchasing a new card, $3.
To use the virtual ORCA card, all riders have to do is tap their Andriod phone or Wear OS device on an ORCA card reader.
The new feature is supported by Community Transit, Everett Transit, King County Metro, Kitsap Transit, Pierce Transit, Sound Transit, and Washington State Ferries.
