01 · Public transport in Seattle
Seattle moves on buses: trolleybuses up the hills, RapidRide lines across the city and two streetcar lines threading through South Lake Union and First Hill.
Leidaro pulls live vehicle positions directly from the same public feeds that King County Metro publishes. Every bus, streetcar and water taxi on the map is exactly where it is right now. Tap a stop and see the next arrivals with real countdown times.
Pay with an ORCA card, a contactless bank card tapped on the reader, or the Transit GO Ticket app. King County Metro charges a flat adult fare, and riders 18 and under ride free; ORCA LIFT and the Regional Reduced Fare Permit cut the price for lower-income riders, seniors and riders with disabilities.
Metro's feed covers 138 bus routes, both Seattle Streetcar lines and the King County Water Taxi — about 6,300 stops in all. Link light rail and the Sounder commuter trains are run by Sound Transit and published in a separate regional feed.
Leidaro was built for public transport that publishes open data. In Seattle it uses King County Metro's public GTFS schedule and real-time feed to show the exact position of every bus, streetcar and water taxi.
Download the city once and the static map data (stops, routes and directions) works even without internet. Set up alerts for your daily routes and save your favorite stops.

03 · Questions
Yes. Leidaro uses the same public GTFS feed that King County Metro publishes, so it covers the 138 bus routes, both Seattle Streetcar lines and the water taxi.
Not currently. The Seattle feed Leidaro downloads is King County Metro's, which covers buses, the streetcars and the water taxi. Link light rail and Sounder are run by Sound Transit and published separately.

Not yet — Leidaro is an Android app (Android 7.0+). If an iOS version happens, you'll hear about it here first.
Vehicle positions and countdowns come straight from Metro's real-time feed, so you see where the buses actually are — usually only a few seconds behind reality.
No. Leidaro is an independent app built by Minrax. It is not affiliated with King County Metro, Sound Transit or the City of Seattle — it uses the public GTFS data the agency publishes.
No. Readers also accept contactless bank cards and phones, and the Transit GO Ticket app works without a card. Leidaro itself needs no account or payment.
04 · Seattle's transit network
Seattle's transit is regional: King County Metro runs the buses, the Seattle Streetcar and the water taxi, while Sound Transit runs Link light rail and the Sounder commuter trains.
Most trips funnel through downtown — Westlake, Pioneer Square and the Third Avenue corridor — where buses and streetcars meet. RapidRide lines C, D and E carry the heaviest loads across the city.
With Leidaro you see the bus, streetcar and water taxi network live — every vehicle on one map.
The GTFS data comes from King County Metro, which publishes its schedule and real-time feeds openly for developers.
