"Add" would be bringing Frequent Service to the dozen or so routes that were promised but never delivered, including the 76 route. "Add" would be adding local service to Sherwood, Forest Grove and Oregon City that never had service. "Add" would be a route from Tualatin to Oregon City that certain groups really want to see.Erik H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14754458674336580085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595057345294486478.post-9470273168141588492011-06-06T23:43:26.834-07:002011-06-06T23:43:26.834-07:00We all know TriMet isn't adding any bus servic...<i>We all know TriMet isn't adding any bus service.</i><br /><br />Given that the money's in the budget, and that schedules for the sign-up which would have the extra service are being created now, I'd be willing to bet you something.Jason McHuffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595057345294486478.post-60995825381792196342011-06-06T20:15:27.998-07:002011-06-06T20:15:27.998-07:00We all know TriMet isn't adding any bus servic...We all know TriMet isn't adding any bus service.Erik H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14754458674336580085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595057345294486478.post-38161167227109809442011-06-06T19:34:49.930-07:002011-06-06T19:34:49.930-07:00With the fare increase, TriMet *hopes* to add more...With the fare increase, TriMet *hopes* to add more bus service. <br /><br />Also, TriMet is hosing the Monthly pass holders. The increase should only be $2/month. When fares here go up 0.25, the pass price goes up $9, or $1.80 per 5 cents.punkrawker4783https://www.blogger.com/profile/15514346205372171158noreply@blogger.com
