The PPS High School TriMet Pass Saved...for now
At least saved for this school year. Then it'll start all over again
Hotseat: Jarrett Walker: A Portland transit expert says we shouldn’t fall in love with trains when buses will do.
The Portland Streetcar has done a lot of good for the Pearl District, but it was introduced as a development tool, and as it was presented, it was always very clear that the emotional attraction of the vehicle itself was an important part of why we should build it.
Why should we build a streetcar instead of just running a really good bus service? We’re moving into a much leaner time. We may start having different conversations about how important it is to have emotionally appealing vehicles, as opposed to creating a system that maximizes people’s personal freedom.
