Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District’s (1272 TriMet’s) Hop Fastpass system by 511 Init is now fully operational in the Portland-Vancouver Metropolitan area. TriMet, Portland Streetcar and public transit agency C-Tran passengers can use the virtual smart card within Google Pay to purchase their fares.

The option to use Google Pay has been enabled through a collaboration between TriMet, Init and urban mobility company moovel.

Passengers can pay with a Hop card, virtual card, contactless or mobile wallet. The virtual Hop card also comes with daily and monthly fare capping.
