Extend the TriMet transfers and gain riders, sustainability
TriMet has cut 170,000 hours of bus service the past two years, resulting in longer wait times between buses and more critical transfers. And even though TriMet continues to raise the cost of the fare, the time given to transfer has stayed the same: 2 hours from purchase on the MAX or streetcar, but only one hour past the time it will take to reach the “destination point” such as the downtown transit mall when heading into the city on the bus. When service was good, transit riders could actually use the system to take care of basic needs and reasonable round-trips on one fare: go to the grocery store and back, take their kids to school or daycare or go to the doctor and back — a reasonable trip at a reasonable cost, one fare.http://streetroots.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/extend-the-trimet-transfers-and-gain-riders-sustainability/
