King County adds on-demand shuttle to get riders to five light rail stations in Tukwila, Seattle

King County, Sound Transit and the city of Seattle announced Tuesday a new on-demand shared shuttle to get more people to more link  light rail in Tukwila and Southeast Seattle.

The service will allow riders to get a ride to and from five stations -- Mount Baker, Columbia City, Othello, Rainier Beach and Tukwila International Boulevard.

Riders can either use the Via to Transit app or call 206-258-7739 to catch a ride and pay with their ORCA card. Via's general manager said the app works a lot like Lyft or Uber.
