The biggest problem with the buses is poor scheduling - how many times do you have to wait and wait, and then two or three of the same bus show up at once?

Give 'em a Fareless Square, they take a mile.

Mr. Fred Hanson is the general manager of TriMet. His obsession is building a light rail system.

He careth not for the safety or convenience of you, the taxpayer nor you, the TriMet customer.

Again, please forgive my oversight in not explaining who should be tarred, feathered and run out of town on a (light) rail.

Perhaps we can organize a mob to tar and feather Mr. Hanson?

Just a suggestion.

I remain your humble servant,

Dude, I found this Laptop on a bus and use Hot Spots... But, before this windfall I used to use the Libraries Public Computer.

BTW, Before I forget, thanks commuters for your Free Money and discards, I gotta go now & pan handle Lunch!

God, I love Portland

It has NO, NONE, ZILCH, chance of happening!

Maybe these people can get incorporated somehow in the existing structure.

An intermediary step would be if you have to stand up (by which I mean if TriMet has not scheduled sufficient buses for a particular time / line) then you ride for free. This would be solid motivation for TriMet managers to shift buses to where the need is greatest.

I bought a car after years of riding the Fessenden bus and standing up 80% of the time.

If our politicians had spines they'd just raise taxes and do it already, but unfortunately, it will probably have to go to the voters.
