TriMet is increasing prices for some fares in 2024, as the Portland metro area transit agency attempts to tackle the growing costs of inflation.
A two-and-a-half hour pass will go up 30 cents, to $2.80. A day pass will increase by 60 cents, to $5.60. That’s a 12% price hike.

TriMet officials said they’ve avoided increasing the base fare for the past decade, but that inflation has driven up the costs of their operations. The agency has also expanded its reduced fare program.
