Vancouver – C-Tran, TriMet and Portland Streetcar officially launched their shared electronic-fare system, the Hop Fastpass, on Monday.
Now riders can tap a Hop card with money or a touchless bank card to pay their fare on the any C-Tran, Vine, MAX Light Rail, Portland Streetcar, WES Commuter Rail or TriMet vehicles.
Hop cards are available in a number of stores throughout Clark County. Cash is still accepted. Traditional monthly fares will be available from C-Tran for a few months while customers adapt to the new electronic system.
With the Hop pass, riders that use the card for two trips in one day will earn a day pass. Also, when they reach the cost of a monthly pass, they’ll ride free for the month.
