Question about trimet in Oregon

[zmzhang]

I recently found 10 trimet tickets that I had for who knows how long. Do the tickets have an expiration date? I'm taking about the prebought tickets not the tickets that you get when you board the bus.

thanks

Nope, no expiration, just when you validate them they expire...

Thanks, I searched on trimet's site and couldn't find the information.

Nope, they don't have an expiration date.

When you board the max, you stick the ticket in a little machine that stamps the expiration time.

When you board a bus, you put the ticket in the slot and they give you a transfer with the expiration time.

Where do you get these tickets? I always thought you could only pay at the machine..

I'm guessing since they service the tri-country area it's something like "Tri-metropolitan transit ...." something like that.
