Watch Out for Fake TriMet Tickets

Buy your fares from an authorized ticket outlet

Recently, we've seen a number of fake TriMet tickets being presented as valid fare on buses.

Please make sure you are purchasing your fares from an authorized TriMet ticket outlet. Authorized outlets include most grocery stores, the TriMet Ticket Office at Pioneer Courthouse Square, ticket vending machines and some businesses located near transit centers. Where to buy TriMet fares

Remember that riding without a valid fare is a violation of TriMet Code and could result in a base fine of $115 (up to $250), as well as exclusion from the transit system. Knowingly possessing or using a forged ticket or pass may also violate provisions of the Oregon Criminal Code and could result in arrest.

To report fake tickets or unauthorized ticket sales, please call 503-238-RIDE (7433) or email customerservice@trimet.org.
