Sound Transit (ST), officially the Central Puget Sound Regional Transit Authority, is the public transit system in the Seattle metropolitan area, Washington, United States. It covers Seattle and its satellite cities with light rail trains (called Link light rail), commuter trains (Sounder), and buses (Sound Transit Express). Sound Transit gets its money from sales tax, property tax, and a fee on license plate stickers ("car tabs").
