We weren’t Portlanders, we were Seattlelites. And I was a grad student w/o a car and not planning on getting a car, so public trans (which the Seattlelites think is wonderful but doesn’t compare to what we had back east) was the only choice.

Skywalk was born in Portland, and tho we weren’t there long, I remember it as a lovely city. Took the bus there, too. : )

You were saying ...

Yep, I remember when they had different bus systems (i.e., different independent companies), before Tri-Met, which consolidated it all. It was not as easy to get around back then.

In the over 40 years there, I've been on foot, on the bike, in the car, on the bus and on the MAX... :-)

And I like all of those modes... (and I've been known to use at least three of those modes, all in one trip, at one time... LOL...)
