Trimet Ticket Office

Yeah its there… Neutral about the organization itself other then no other compatible service in the local area so no push for them change unless they want to. Depending on the driver defines the rating i give

I’ve documented my enthusiasm for various TriMet entities in the past (transit centers, MAX, buses, streetcars, etc.), and I want to extend the same enthusiasm to their ticketing office in Pioneer Courthouse Square. It’s been there since the Square opened around 30 years ago (oy vey, 30 years ago (??), pinches herself).
The office is located between KGW’s Studio In The Square and the Starbucks outlet on the upper square. You walk across a small bridge over a water feature and enter through two large glass doors. The space inside is open, spacious, and well designed to handle crowds of ever-​moving customers. You can order your tickets or passes from a clerk at that station and also from a machine — nice to have that variety. There are also a couple of displays where you can obtain TriMet paper schedules and maps. People are also able to obtain trip-​planning services.
Our local businesses pay the tax to support such a facility and it’s one for which we really get our money’s worth. Come and see for yourself.

Amazingly efficient! I love these ticket machines. We only had to deal with one. The one in the airport where one of them takes cash and the other one takes cards. We brought a 7-​day pass and used it almost everyday. It was so worth the money. As for the trimet buses and trains, we like them a lot when we used them during our trip. However, we don’t know how reliable they are for work and school, etc. So as a visitor and have all the time in the world, the transit is pretty good. Only issue is that one particular bus we took was highly questionable and I will go in details later in another review regarding trimet buses, so this review is really about the ticketing machines and the streetcar to and from the airport.

This review is for TriMet as a whole and not the specific location.
This public transit is 100% unreliable. They are consistently late or having issues. I have been taking TriMet as my main source of transportation for the past year and it has been a complete waste of money. At $ 100 a month I expect MUCH better service of the 4 lines that have to be looked over. If they need any advice they should call NYC transit and ask them how they function with over 50 different subway lines.
If your planning on using TriMet make sure to give yourself a 30 minute buffer zone so your not late to wherever you need to be.

This is review is not for the office but for the whole Trimet public transport system as a whole. TIP, use google app on your smartphone to quickly determine the route to take anywhere.
the whole text bus stop to phone to find out when the next bus is coming is awesome.
In my 4 days spent in Portland I was able to quickly get everywhere, buses, trains it all was frequent and on-​time. There was only one type of fare no matter where you are traveling from and to (always a pet peeve of mine in SF and other cities that still do fare zones.)
Dare i say this was better than any other city I’ve been to or lived in. On a smaller scale of course :) better than SF, NY, Boston, London etc…

The folks who run this place are absolutely amazing. Very efficient and friendly.

This is the place that sells Trimet tickets in the visitor center at Pioneer Courthouse Square. I checked in here with my cell, so the website is now suggesting I review the place.
The ticket line always seems to go fairly quickly. Here’s a tip — there’s an automatic ticket machine that no one ever seems to be using, and it’s located right across from the line. Just look to your left as you’re getting in the queue.
Visitor info is off to the right, as well as bathrooms. Haven’t used the bathrooms, but a public place to pee is always a nice feature.
Three stars because the freaking doors SERIOUSLY need to be replaced. It’s like trying to pull a friggin’ pickup truck with your bare hands to get those things open. I’m really not sure what the deal is. If you need to, hit the handicap button to get the doors to open on their own. Otherwise, enjoy the struggle.

I’m new to TriMet System. Yesterday, I took the MAX (Green Line) on my own to Down Town Portland for the first time (hey, for an ex-​California, it was a big deal — since most Californians don’t do the public trans thing). Not bad at all, everything seems proper and quite safe!!!
Pick up my 30-​Day Pass for $ 92 (Monthly pass is also the same price).
NOTE: you can only get the 30-​Day Pass at this location but you can get the Monthly Pass everywhere.

You can go here to fulfill all of your Trimet ticketing needs. I pick up monthly passes for myself and my deserving family members. It’s a lot cheaper than getting around town by car, and this place is a lot less aggravating than a trip to the DMV.
