Chillin' w/ WES on the West n' South Side
I just stumbled upon an idea. Yeah, obviously I'm a transit fan or nut or FRN or whatever you want to call me. I dig knowing how things work and transit is definitely one of those things. I was recently being the transit hobbyist that I am thinking about the new WES Commuter Rail. I have no use whatsoever for it and it doesn't run at any of the times that would make it useful for me to go to Fry's or any establishment in Wilsonville on my off time. I understand, it "is" a rush hour commuter rail system, but I still would like to use it if at all possible for trips I need to take.
Then I thought it would be neat, just for the different perspective, to commute from Wilsonville for a few days. So my thought is to get a hotel or something in Wilsonville and literally commute for a couple days when the system opens. That would also give me a great opportunity to catch some pictures and other things on the line. Will follow up on this topic later, anybody interested in the idea? Kind of like a "study group" to give TriMet and the City a report card on how well the line is or will be working out.
