Speaking of little white TriMet lies

Line 15-Belmont does not have frequent service east of 92nd and Stark, going by technicalities. As it is, on Sunday service between 92nd and Stark and Gateway TC runs every 36-40 minutes. That section has the same frequency as non-frequent line 20.


On the maps, however, and the stops, TriMet has ALWAYS held fast that that segment is frequent, while on other lines (9 past 98th) it's shown that it's normal service. While the service in the area is technically frequent level on Weekdays and Saturdays, it's not on Sundays, therefore it should not be counted...

...

...

But then again.

Here's TriMet's idea of frequent service.

TriMet's Frequent Service bus lines run about every 15 minutes during the morning and afternoon rush hours on weekdays. MAX runs every 15 minutes or better most of the day, every day. (Service is less frequent in the early morning, mid-day and evening.)

...

Mwahahahahaha. 

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

"TriMet expands frequent service network!

Despite rounds of service cuts and fare increases, we angels at TriMet have granted you six more frequent service lines!

17-Holgate/Broadway
19-Glisan/Woodstock
20-Burnside/Stark
52-Farmington/185th
70-12th Ave
76/78 Beaverton-Tigard

And all new frequent service expresses! Warning: Lines do not come with decent buses or ADA-compliant stops.

94-Sherwood/Pacific Hwy Express
96-Tualatin/I-5

See? We ARE great after all!"

Idea is owned by Cameron Johnson. Dear TriMet, please inform me before you use this to avoid a lawsuit. Thank you.
