Here's a question we often get: "How does TriMet know that I paid my fare when I tap my phone or credit card?"
Answer: Our Customer Safety Supervisors use handheld devices that quickly scan your Hop card, credit/debit card or phone to make sure you have a valid fare.

This focuses our service investment where it is needed and used most. While we are keeping frequency on higher used lines, some proposals reduce how often buses arrive at times when fewer people are riding.
Our new service change proposals center on network efficiency, combining lines or reducing where lines run near others. We propose eliminating some bus lines and moving routes to maintain as much service as possible.
We reduced spending mostly through cutting internal expenses, reducing staff and pausing future bus service increases.
In July 2025, we announced a $300 million annual budget gap. We have already reduced spending by about $150 million and that’s before the larger service changes and cuts we’re now proposing.
Weigh in on Planned Bus and MAX Service Changes and Cuts
We know you depend on us, and service cuts are always our last resort. But with rising costs and less money coming in, we must reduce spending now to avoid more severe cuts down the road, which would affect many more riders.
🚌 We’ll also operate our late night/early morning bus service along MAX lines. The buses do not run through the night, but they will provide some extra service on New Year’s Eve.

The project is being designed to avoid impacts to recreational and historic areas, but some areas may be affected during and after construction.
The 82nd Avenue Transit Project will upgrade bus service on 82nd Avenue to TriMet FX–Frequent Express. This will bring more service reliability and faster travel times, plus safety and accessibility improvements, to the corridor.
