WCBS New York names TriMet #1 Public transportation system

I GUESS NO ONE IN NEW YORK HAS ACTUALLY RIDDEN TRIMET BEFORE


Original article HERE

Portland, Oregon’s TriMet is one of the main leaders in US mass transportation(WTF?). It carries more people than any other US transit, including 26 percent of rush-hour commuters(12% the service area uses TriMet), 90 percent of which live within half a mile of the transit system(if you count people who live in Boring). In 1989, TriMet was named “America’s Best Large Transit Agency” by the American Public Transportation Association(And what year is it now?). Portland continues to work towards keeping that status by making mass transportation more convenient(MAX transportation, realistically), reliable and comfortable. The city also continues to find ways to be more eco-friendly by increasing fuel efficiency, (by refusing to invest in hybrid buses and any buses at all)using recycled materials for construction(yawn) and installing certain landscaping features to reduce pollutants from storm water runoff(The barbur TC drainage project. Truly an invention worth awarding someone over)
