    People shouldn’t be in such a damned hurry anyway…they should relax and enjoy the gentle vibrations of the universe (which usually manifest here as cold, driving rain).

  2. For the love of god, there should be ATLEAST a stop ID number at stops. So flipping lazy…thank you to those that sharpie them on a post or something.

  3. If you have an android phone, download Portland Transit Lite. It’s a free app, reliable and won’t make your eyes cross like trying to decipher a bus schedule will.

  4. We would like more schedules and preferably some newspapers and cardboard boxes too
