BLAST FROM THE PAST
The old Portland transit mall was quite a sight. Never had seen anything quite like that. With all the buses streaming through there doing the in and out dance. I used to hate driving through there but it was very convenient for riders. Every bus stopped at every other block. Now you have to walk 4 or more blocks to pick up your bus. I think the transit mall is deader now, like the life has been stripped away when they put in that freaking light rail. I have never been able to find video footage of the mall during rush hours. I took these pictures from the drivers seat as I drove down one day. This was just before the video became so easy to use. Trimet was a saner place back then. The light rail not only destroyed bus service, it pretty much destroyed Trimet. What people will do for money is insane
