  1. "‘Rare and unique’: Oregonians celebrate retirement of the original MAX train" by Oregon Public Broadcasting OPB (PBS Portland) - The first and now last Type 1 MAX (Metropolitan Area eXpress) light rail vehicle was displayed at Holladay Park in Portland, where #TriMet has a spur track for parking trains out of the way. As Type 6 trains were introduced, 40 year old Type 1s were retired, now gone from service. opb.org/article/2026/04/18/tri #TriMet #transit #Portland #Oregon #PNW

  2. "Last stop, Rose City! Join TriMet this April in bidding farewell to the original MAX train" by TriMet - #TriMet (3-county #Portland metro area #transit agency) will hold a public event to mark the last Type 1 MAX light rail cars. Type 1's have operated since MAX light rail opened in 1986. The event will be 3pm Sat Apr 18 at Holladay Park next to NE 11th Ave/Lloyd Center MAX station. A check of the map shows a MAX spur track on 11th next to the park. news.trimet.org/2026/03/last-s #Oregon #PNW

  3. It's going to be interesting because I'm going to try to take #TriMet from Beaverton to the East side of the river and the protest is scheduled for tomorrow.

  4. in the evenings is very different from in the morning, but always an adventure. 🤣

  5. Looks like #Trimet realized the Banfield Mainline is constantly delayed by interline hell and working to fix that by truncating the Green Line to Gateway.

    Seems more logical to eliminate the green line entirely and reroute the Red Line to run PDX to Clackamas, then increase service on the Blue Line so it's only 15 minutes or less between trains on the outer stations instead of 2-3 times an hour at most.

  6. What is layout, anyway?

    Also, parking shouldn't be free, especially when #Trimet hasn't made the buses free. #pdx

  7. Pretty Happy with how my Live Activities have turned out.

    Short demo:
    1. When getting arrival times, long press on any arrival and chose Track with Live Activity
    2. From the Dynamic Island or Lock Screen, you can tap to open the app to that transit stop as well as highlight the specific arrival
    3. Shows up on Apple Watch Smart Stack & tapping on it also opens up PDX Transit for watchOS to the transit stop & highlights the arrival
    Check the video:

  8. Made a short recording of how Live Activities for #PDXTransit work. 😊

    For any transit stop, long press on an arrival and choose the Live Activity option.

    You can open back up to this view by tapping the Live Activity from the lock screen or Dynamic Island.

    It’ll also highlight the arrival you’re interested in as well. 🚍

  9. TriMet announced they will run some trains all night long to keep the overhead wires from freezing.

    PBOT has treated all of the major roadways, and will continue doing so.

    PGE has their trucks on standby and has contracted with other workers, if needed.

  11. Neues E-Ticket! :) Hop Fastpass, Portland, OR, USA. Gibt es seltsamerweise nicht am Flughafen. Aber sonst laut Tri Met gut verfügbar. Hier am Pioneer Square gekauft für 3 US$. Die Karte hat eine Obergrenze, ähnlich wie die RTD-Karte letztens. Man zahlt also nie zu viel. Zahlung per EMV Contactless ist auch möglich.

  12. Finally making it to #AgilePDX #mobprogramming #ensembleprogramming #meetup tonight, after attempts for the past several months. I’m so excited. I 💚 #softwareTeaming & #collaboration. And getting there on #Trimet #bus. I’m lucky to have 2 routes nearby my house. (Also, it’s very hard to type on the bus.)
