New Tri-Met Tickets
In an effort to make Tri-Met’s tickets and passes easier to read, they are creating a new look. The new ticket layouts began appearing to the public in November. During the transition period, they will continue to accept the current narrow tickets as they are phased out of the system. They have not announced how long the “transition period” will be, but it should be quite a while. All fare instruments will be the size of a credit card.
To see the new tickets and passes, visit here.
