Recently grabbed a photo of the new heavy rail commuter service running in the Portland area.

  • Actually oliver I ran the basic numbers, but be sure to read the comments here too. The WES is less efficient than comparable bus operations. The whole thing has really turned into a boondoggle, kind of sad considering the potential. However, it does look kind of neat and rides really nice. Great way to commute, just absurdly expensive for the taxpayers.

    Great shot. I assume that this is just the weekend run. Otherwise, I'm surprised to see such a small train to be sufficient for all commuters.
  • It was the day I rode the "free ride". I haven't done the week long commute yet. Doing that next month between the 16th and 20th. :)

    Great shot. Did you end up doing the "commute from Wilsonville" thing that you'd talked about at one point, or were you just out photographing?
