TriMet MAX from a Tennessean point-of-view

Stumbled across this really nice blog post about a vacation Patrick and his fiance took to Portland.  I was going to just say the nice word they said about using TriMet (specifically the MAX) but the whole post is a really nice write-up of Portland and things to do if taking a vacation in PDX.

But since this is TriMetiquette, I suppose I should quote what they said about their TriMet experience:

“The TriMet is Portland’s light-rail system, and was clean, reliable transportation from the airport to downtown, and around the region. It is a fantastic asset to the city who seems to pride itself on making alternatives to car-based transportation an affordable commodity.”

Definitely recommend a read for this really well-written blog post!

  1. Thanks for the link and positive comments on my blog entry!

    I’ve visited many American cities with decent public transportation — Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Washington D.C. — but Portland’s system is surprisingly good considering its population versus those other cities.

    Not once did we experience any delays, or feel unsafe riding the TriMet.
