Just download the free app, register your debit/credit card in our secure system, and you're ready to go.

No paper fares to keep track of
No need to carry cash, count exact change or find a ticket machine.
Buy and use fares instantly using a debit/credit card.
Store multiple tickets on your phone for future use.
Pay a single fare or multiple fares for a group of riders.
Register your debit/credit card(s) in our secure system.
Purchase tickets on your phone or on any computer via our website.
HOW IT WORKS:

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"It's designed so well, so easy to use and understand...that I've actually not had much feedback to give! You all did a great job with this!"
" First purchase and ticket use worked like a charm. I started inputting my visa info as the streetcar came around the corner and I had my 5 tix purchased and one selected for use before the next stop. Nicely done. I especially like the font size (larger than expected) - helpful for 40-something eyes!”
COMMON QUESTIONS:
How do I use the app?
After downloading the free app, register a debit or credit card into our secure system. Select the fare type, select the quantity of tickets desired (A $5 minimum purchase is required) and then presses “checkout”. Tickets will appear in the “My Tickets” tab within the app. The rider can then board the Portland Streetcar.
When requested to show proof of valid fare by Portland Streetcar personnel or Transit Police officers the rider simply shows the unique digital ticket displayed on the phone. No additional scanning equipment required.
If I purchase a Portland Streetcar ticket, can I also ride TriMet’s Max or Bus service?
No. Portland Streetcar tickets are valid for Portland Streetcar only. However, all TriMet tickets and passes are honored on Portland Streetcar.
Do I need to be connected?
An Internet connection is required to purchase tickets, but you can use/activate your tickets offline.
What if I lose my phone?
No worries... Your account and purchased fares are stored on a secure server. Once you replace your device, simply download the app again and sign onto your account. All your information will be there!
What if my battery dies?
Just like with paper tickets, you're responsible for making sure you have a valid fare at all times, so be sure to plan ahead!
