What travellers are saying
- Kevin CampbellNaperville, IL202 contributionsClean, easy to use, and inexpensive - there's no better way to get downtown from PDX.
We love how simple it is to just tap your card/phone at the reader and hop on - and no need to keep track of time because if you tap again while you're within the original hours there's no charge. Ride twice in a day and you've automatically got a day pass!
We rode all over the place on Labor Day weekend, it was never too busy to find a seat, and incredibly convenient.Written 3 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Only $2.80/ride (although you tap your card before boarding and I never had anyone check that I had paid). Very easy and clean.Written 25 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- JOP1 contributionI do not want people to get the idea that this system has a bus coming every 15 min. That is only certain lines.
Because of connections, sometimes delays in travel are considerable. A frequent service root might intersect with an less frequent service route and this can really affect travel times. Time of day matters, Weekday matters.
Some routes take 45 min to 1.5 hours to get you 13 or 17 miles.
Planning is essential.
Drivers are very solid. Customer service is very solid when it is open. Front line people care about this system and work very hard to keep it good.
They have limited funds and support however
The board and higher administration are quizzical. This leads to quizzical changes in routes and detachment from the travails drivers face in navigating the routes. They are more connected to customer experience through how they rank their support people. However how service decisions are made seems to lack purchase with either customers or drivers so that affects things
Construction interruptions to the route are frequent in some areas (like downtown) and are sometimes unsafely handled putting drivers, bus and customers into unsafe circumstances but over all it is an safe system
Once the preimer transit service in the nation, it is bedraggled but does serve. You can get from point A to point B with some patience.Written 5 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In this last time, by accident I did to travel from Tacoma.TAC.WA to PortLand.PDX.OR by using “Normal” Class without Seat allocated like Commuter or MTR.
- It’s not Crowded & (2+2) big Size raw Seat system with a large Leg Room +big Table +easy Luggage store at overhead or in designed places +V. big complete Bath Rm. +but v. Noise due many periodic announcements with a high voice.
- I can’t use before either due its bad Web site having v. high Rates compared with the competitive intercity Buses or due the Web itself that is not working especially in the “Payment Page”? and emailing to the Sleeping C.S. without benefit _ Also take care, some their Tickets excluding Bags! …
But, in this time I had a ticket directly from its station in Tacoma after landing in SEA Airport & I can’t find any Bus to go PDX but fortunately the Price was good & Station Employees were excellent.Written 27 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
