Important COVID-19 Update: We're no longer taking cash on buses

Important update: We're no longer taking cash on buses 

Our operators play a vital role in keeping our community moving during this unprecedented time in history. To support their health and safety and yours, and out of abundance of caution, we have decided to stop accepting cash fares on board buses.

This is a temporary measure to help with social distancing and to minimize the time riders spend near our bus operators. Instead, you’ll need to pay with Hop: a plastic Hop card, your phone using a mobile wallet or virtual card, or a Hop ticket purchased at a ticket machine at a MAX or WES station.

If you don't already have a Hop card, you can get a free one by visiting the TriMet Ticket Office in Pioneer Courthouse Square. We’ll also mail you a card if you call 503-238-RIDE (7433) or email us at hoptto@trimet.org.
