portland has a very clean and easy to use public transit system. my only gripe is that it is too slow in certain areas, particularly around the downtown core. As a result i think its an underutilized system. Giving right of way to lrt or having certain streets in the downtown core be LRT only would do a great deal i think.

Our MAX’s already have right of way everywhere. When it is street running all of the traffic lights are timed and connected to the LRT network. The biggest problem with the downtown core is too many stops and since it is street running, they can only go 15-20 through the whole thing.

I'm very impressed with how extensive Portland's transit system is, especially the Light Rail system. You can get from one end of the Metro to the other including Vancouver, Washington by Rail or bus. Only thing I would change is the downtown section of the LIght Rail, should be underground. Then again if it was I imagine the underground, would have been swamped with Homeless people and tents .

Great video! So it goes.... Two Bells (a trolley term), that I learned from several ex TriMet MAX light rail operators and mechanics. I have a couple of favorite ex TriMet employees who work at Willamette Shore Trolley: "Trolley Dave" Rowe and Neal "Two Bells" Berlin.

Do you think that Portland ever regrets not building tunnels for the downtown portions of Max? It just seems to drag on so slow through those city streets
@ericyoung14785 жыл бұрын
+guinessbeer I honestly think it was pretty creative of them. They have it resemble a New Orleans trolley by having it run through the downtown streets, and then have it resemble a NYC subway when traveling under the zoo.

@JBS3197 жыл бұрын
To be honest, the buses in Portland are boring as hell now that the Flxibles are gone. Everything is a 40 ft New Flyer or Gillig. Much less interesting than the rail network, which was my focus for the two days I was there.
@OregonTransitFan7 жыл бұрын
True, it has gotten a little boring since the Phantoms left and there's nothing extremely worth filming. The rail systems got boring for me. I just like how there's more variety in the buses

Such a wonderful transit system in Portland. Thankfully the politics of that city did one thing right. Transit. Because everything else with the city is rather sad. Protests that are now violent, odd population base and mindsets. Outrageous amount of homeless, and dirty people.
