Even though these news bits are a bit old now, I still wanted to mention them. TriMet has new tickets heading our way. In addition, amid my complaining, I noticed I've gotten exactly what I wished for, increased bus (& MAX) service! Thanks TriMet, you guys & gals ROCK!
So the lowdown goes like this. The #8, #9,#12, #15 (23rd), #15 (Belmont) surprise surprise, #17 Holgate, #33, #35, #66, #72, and #99. The Blue Line is also getting an increase in frequency. There are also a number of buses getting a scheduling change, but not particularly increased service levels.
