@Red Diamond - That kind of 'peak demand' bottleneck is EXACTLY what Uber would fix. I don't agree that I can get a cab within 10 minutes, most times, but Uber drivers go on and off the clock with demand. Taxi drivers are a permanent, dedicated fleet, and that can't scale with rapid demand shifts. Uber can.

I agree with Mr. Haberman -- if the trains just ran till 3 a.m. I could do the kind of drinking that Portland needs AND wants to be a successful, cosmopolitan town. Think about it business community -- multiply the three extra beers I'd have by the thousands and wala! You just paid for your kid's Ipid or pad or pod or whatever. I hate having to run out of the Roseland just as my fave guitar player is totally shredding so I can catch the line home. WE WANT THE DRUNK BUS!!!!

Please wait...
