April 30 is the cut off date to use old non-foil tickets. If you have a big stash of them take them downtown to the Trimet office in Pioneer Courthouse Square.
Trimet has finalized the proposed changes and scheduled them for Sept. 2.
Ticket price - 1 price for all trips $2.50; 2 hour transfers; end free student passes; Honored Citizen continue at $1 (ridiculous!)
MAX - end Free Rail Zone (The City is in discussion with Trimet to continue some version of Free Rail Zone and Student passes.)
Line 8 OHSU - the north terminus will be NE Dekum and Durham; will continue downtown to OSHU as it does now.
Line 9 Broadway - will continue downtown but change into the #17 Holgate line; no change to the route on Broadway and north.
Line 73 Multnomah-Broadway-24th (old #10) - this will go the Rose Quarter Transit Center and turn into the Line 70 (12th Ave/Milwaukie) providing better north-south connection.
Line 77 Broadway to NW Portland - after the Steel Bridge it will no longer go directly past Union Station but continue on Everett/Glisan to NW 21st over to Vaughn to Montgomery Park.
Full details here.
