Trimet Bus

I admit I'm a railfan, but I am a supporter of all public transit. The bus is the heart of nearly all transit system. Trimet is no different.The buses cover much more of the the tri-county area then MAX. Nearby Clark County, WA, CTran buses also enter Portland. There are alos other bus lines that skirt the region including SMART, CAT and more the can be found here.

Enjoy a look at the buses of the Portland region
