TriMet operates the call center for this 503-238-7433 phone number Mon-Fri 8am-5pm ET. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 1,164 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this TriMet phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like TriMet staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call TriMet is Thursday. The most busy day to call is Wednesday. Again, this is based on a sample of 1,164 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Tuesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Friday.

The best time to call TriMet

In summation, the best day to call TriMet is Thursday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that TriMet staffs the call center well on Thursday.

More TriMet Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact TriMet customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

TriMet Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)

@trimethelp - Customer Service
Use the link to connect with customer service through Twitter
TriMet, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.

TriMet Customer Help Desk / Web Support

trimet.org - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- TriMet customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
