Hop Fastpass is a contactless smart card for public transit fare payment on most transit modes in the Portland metropolitan area including MAX Light Rail, WES commuter rail, Portland Streetcar, The Vine, and all TriMet and C-TRAN buses. An initial release to the general public began on July 5, 2017, with the official launch on July 17. The program is managed by TriMet.
The Hop card is a stored-value contactless smartcard that can hold a cash value or day or monthly passes for various systems. All terminals that read these cards can also accept NFC-based mobile payment systems such as Apple Pay and Google Wallet respectively. A virtual Hop card generated by these platforms is functionally identical to physical cards. Hop also supports fare capping, in which day or month passes are automatically applied when fares reach the respective cost threshold. Passengers must tap on each time they enter the system by holding the card to an electronic reader to validate a pass or deduct funds. Cards can be reloaded using a credit or debit card online, using a mobile app, calling a toll-free number, or at local retailers and ticket offices. Cash can be used when reloading the card in person.
