The smells on the bus and cleanliness has hit a new low! The buses rarely run to service. As they raised the fair this last month. Been riding the bus since the 90's. A one time star in the three counties are failing to deliver saftey on top of this. Is it the am investment for the future? As they added a run line to the Hillsboro Airport. It cost hundreds of millions to an already existing line. No new trains or rail was added. Just a expense that just doesn't meet the mark!Oh i tried to add photos of liquid on two seats. Where they allow people to bring the bottle returns on the bus. As it leaks on floor and seats. And no one can sit.

I haven’t taken Metro Max much since COVID, but I did encounter MAX red line stopping transportation during rush hours after work more than half the time. Today I took it again, and unfortunately it stopped working again at 5:40pm. It is totally unreliable. Metro hired so many employees, but they couldn’t get it working. I don’t think that my transportation tax is well spent.

Thank you to #Trimet and the bus driver on the #trimetline29 stop at Roots and Hearthwood today (9/6/24). Not only were you 3 minutes early for the 3:45 scheduled arrival, but you didn't even slow down, much less STOP! In fact, you didn't even LOOK in the direction of the stop. I know this because if you had, you would have seen me jumping around and flailing my arms like a fool to get your attention, while you sailed right on past me. No big deal that I just waited for 45 minutes in the 98 degree scorching sun for you. Now I can either wait another hour in this baking hell OR I can walk the almost mile in this misery to the next closest line. All of this after a full day of work and the hour and a half ride to go the whopping 8 miles there this morning! Thank you for ensuring that my work day is ending with sunstroke, a new blister, and a fury filled ugly cry!

I arrived at PDX (Portland Int'l airport) on February 8th, 2024 and found out that the Trimet Max rail was not available. I usually ride the train from PDX to Beaverton transit center which takes about an hour and bus #76 to Tigard. I purchased a ticket from the machine at 4:41pm. I was told that a bus transfer will be available. A bus showed up at 4:56pm, it arrived at the Gateway center at 5:40pm. I had to take another bus at 5:45pm which arrived at NE 7th avenue at 6:20pm. I got on a Max blue line train which left at 6:35pm and arrived at Beaverton transit center around 7:10pm. The next #76 bus to Tigard was 7:30pm. I saw bus #78 and got on it at 7:20pm as sometimes the #76 bus terminates at Tigard transit center. I was planning to walk 2 miles from there. At TIgard TC, I found out that #76 will be arriving in 10 minutes. I waited and tried to get on the bus. The driver was nasty, he yelled at me saying that I needed to tap my ticket against the reader. Guess what? The ticket is only good for 2.5 hours, the machine rejected my ticket. The started yelling saying that my ticket was not valid. I tried to explain that I was traveling from the airport and delays were caused by train/track maintenance issues. Finally, he allowed me to ride the bus. Think about it, why would the driver be so nasty knowing that there is a known delay issue? He could have been nice about it. All in all - it took almost 3 hours for me to travel about 25 miles by Trimet. It only took 2 hours and 15 minutes for my flight from LA to PDX. AVOID TRIMET and make some other arrangements if you are arriving at PDX.

Trimet has been a great transportation provider, but these employees have been trying hard to make Trimet loose money by using microaggression towards Asians, Blacks, Indians, Arabians. Or is this just how Trimet operates? You decide.
