Stepping Into the Slow Lane

by Betsy Richter

It has been a Very Busy Summer for yours truly. Most days, the whiteboard on the refrigerator that tracks our household schedule is jam-packed full of planned activities: Summer camps for the girl, lists of chores for the teen, and plenty of, um, fun work stuff for me (including more than a few [...]

TriMet has been very busy the past month with final preparations for the re-opening of the 5th and 6th st. bus mall. Buses will move there later this month with MAX coming in September. As of yesterday, not all of the mall shelters and kiosks were finished, so I know [...]

Portland Police citing for jaywalking downtown

by Dieselboi

In a follow up to Cosmic Charlie’s post, I wanted to comment on Bojack’s blog about jaywalking ticket enforcement downtown. Earlier in the week, a coworker had stated that he’d heard they were going to do targeted enforcement in front of our building on 5th, so be careful. I have yet to see [...]

Possible changes afoot on the #6

by A. L. Venable

On my way home from last night’s OurPDX meet-up, I noticed a sign posted at the #6 stop on NE Grand & E Burnside. I soon noticed they were present at most of the stops as I made my way home.
TriMet has planned three public meetings seeking comments/feedback about possibly changing the #6 line. [...]

Just drive, don’t talk

by A. L. Venable

As federal officials examine the cause of the train collision that occurred in Los Angeles last Friday, it looks as if they’re pointing to human error as the engineer may have been texting instead of being attentive and stopping at a signal.
I have to wonder what TriMet is doing to ensure the safety of its [...]

Expelling Children

by Cosmic Charlie

It’s easy to be jaded when it comes to the Youth of Today. With reports of drug abuse, petty crime, tagging and gang violence bombarding us from all angles, one can lose sight of the good kids.
I spent a lot of time on the bus today. Shortly after boarding I heard a sneeze come from [...]

Alleviate my Awkwardness: TriMet Signaling Advice!

by Lyza Danger Gardner

I’ve been using TriMet since the days of the aluminum-and-orange buses. You’d think I know the ropes. And yet a few niggling things always bother me. Perhaps some advice is needed.
I often wait for buses in locations where several bus lines use the same stop. I have to stand there and wait for my particular [...]
