So...buses are not continuing north of 158th and Walker (basically two-thirds of the route)?

UPDATE at 14:27. Line 67, buses are detoured as follows: Beaverton Transit
Center buses regular route to 158th and Jenkins, continue 158th, right
Walker, right Murray, left Jenkins then regular route, reverse to PCC.


Now this doesn't make sense. Buses to BTC can't follow this route - at 158th and Jenkins southbound you can't continue on 158 unless you are continuing on Merlo...you've well past Walker so what happens when you get to 170th?

Line 67 to Beaverton Transit Center. Regular route
to 158th and Jenkins, continue Jenkins, right Walker, right Cedar Hills blvd
& regular route Reverse to PCC. Ok to leave end of line 3 minutes early.


So...do we make the stop at 158th and Merlo or just turn onto Jenkins and skip the MAX stop? then...Walker? Jenkins doesn't intersect Walker...so how do you get to Walker?

Line 67 to Beaverton Transit Center. Regular route
to 158th and Jenkins, continue 158th, right Walker, right Cedar Hills blvd &
regular route Reverse to PCC. Ok to leave end of line 3 minutes early.


So...158th, right Walker...Walker all the way to Cedar Hills, then to Beaverton TC. "Reverse to PCC"? What? How can I get to PCC if I'm told not to go to PCC?

Seriously...WTF?????

"Reverse to PCC" meant that operators heading in the other direction were to use the same routing. Keep in mind that these messages were meant first and foremost for operators.
