This might be one of the prettiest MAX train stops in the whole system. On one side of the tracks…read moreheaded west is quite a beautiful tract of forested land. It has graveled running paths and it's just wonderful to hear walkers and runners from the nearby Nike Campus and the LaSalle Apartment Property talking and shouting back and forth while enjoying this very serene park-like area. The large apartment property is set quite a ways back from the eastbound side of the trains. When I wait for incoming trains on the platorm, I'm quite glad for a bit of a wait to sit and reflect on the forested land. It's just makes me Zen out for a bit on the beauty, especially on a late summer gold and blue afternoon. Another thing that sets this station apart from the others is the tech company across from the apartments. Of course, it's not because it's a tech company (although this part of Beaverton and into Hillsboro is considered this region's Silicon Valley), but that the employees have built a cricket pitch on the building's front lawn where they play at lunch and after work during the summer and fall. Talk about another way to go Zen. The red and blue MAX trains are the only ones who stop here. There really is no place to park and ride. Don't try it in the large apartment parking lot or you can potentially be towed due to assigned parking for residents. The Nike shuttle buses do stop in the parking lot near the MAX train exits. The station platform is kept very clean and has a reasonable amount of sheltered and outdoor seating. Signage and evening lighting is excellent. I always feel very comfortable at this station because there's nearly always a good number of people coming and going. I recommend use of this station for the sheer beauty all around and it's all-over comfort and great schedules for the trains. The cricket pitch is just added fun! Come and give this station a try. I think you'll like it!

There is also secure bike parking available for people who peddle and ride. There are covered bench areas near the train tracks. On my most recent visit here I noticed that the benches have been replaced with new ones. There are two separate shelters for bus 62 depending on which direction you're headed. From this location it's a short walk to Cedar Hills shopping center. If you are headed to the restaurants on Millikan and Murray, they're only a five minute walk away. As with all their properties, I feel that Tri-Met does an outstanding job maintaining the appearance and cleanliness here.

This is my second go to Max Tram Station because there is plenty of parking available. Every time I finish coming in from Clackamas Town Center this is the place I go. If I am not driving then Willow Creek would be my stop. I would sometimes park my car here on the day of my therapy appointments because I need to ride the 19 and 24 buses in the far reaches of Portland. There is one bus here that I don't ride because it doesn't go near where I live, work or shop. If you do happen to utilize the 62 line there is a waiting area nearby. Warning: The PDX area is very dependent on trams so it's better to plan accordingly if you want to drive to this stop

She tried to make me believe I was hallucinating, but we finally had to agree that it was those darned snowflakes (as pretty as they are) were flying. We decided to hang around a bit longer and see what transpired. What transpired were the pretty snowflakes coming faster and sticking. After getting phone calls from other employees that the snow was sticking and driving was very slippery, my co-worker dropped me off here at the Elmonica station and within minutes I was back in downtown Portland and then to my apartment feeling real relief. The train was a little crowded, but it ran like clockwork into Portland. It was well heated and comfortable. Everybody remained cheerful and friendly. After what transpired the rest of the afternoon and evening, I am truly grateful for the availability of MAX and the smoothness of the ride home.

There aren't usually many people waiting here for the bus or train, and I've always felt very safe here. Just a usage tip for the train: be sure when you get on the train at your first stop that this blue-line train says Hillsboro or Merlo & SW 158th in the appropriate train windows. If the sign says "Hillsboro," you will be able to get off at all the stops all the way to Hillsboro. If it says, "Merlo 158th" on the sign, that is where the run ends (which is near the west-side Tri_Met garage).

Sometimes emergencies or rush situations happen and scheduling medical transport with wheelchair capability can be a serious hassle since most transport requires advanced scheduling and planning. COMPARISONS - Sadly many insurance don't cover non-emergency medical transport. Getting old isn't cheap and medical transport isn't either, compared to other similar services ANEMT rates are average to a little better. MetroWest transport is the most popular and great, but they are constantly booked at least 1-2 days out or 5-10 hours for same day. MetroWest also has stair capable wheelchairs and stretchers by request and door to door service. TriMet offers basic medical transport for fairly cheap via shuttle, but they don't offer door to door so you'll need someone to push if the chair isn't motorized and electric. Uber and Lyft have wheelchair capable vehicles, but again, no door to door service and requires advanced scheduling. Interestingly Kaiser Washington State insurance covers non-emergency transport, but not in Oregon. Above and beyond - Along with being able to respond quickly with door to door service, they helped with transferring inside the home to and from the wheelchair. Aways super nice and friendly guys. Easy pay via credit card through a tex message link or over the phone. Have questions, be sure to ask, they are very helpful and accommodating. Good service, responsive, fast and better pricing than most. Thanks for taking good care of our family.

I use a ride share app myself but for my client's first ride alone I opted to call Radio Cab because it is what the concierge at her community uses. The Radio Cab dispatcher was laughably rude. He angrily refused to give a driver ETA "I have no way of knowing! I don't want to lie to you." I explained that my client was a sight impaired senior citizen and told the dispatcher that she was anxious. He responded with another impatient retort. After waiting with her and her dog for one hour I gave up and installed Lyft on her phone. Nine minutes later a kind driver appeared in a beautiful, spotless, well air conditioned (it was 90 degrees outside) car. My client's Radio Cab arrived 45 minutes later, almost 2 hours after I called. Two weeks ago I received a frantic call from a resident at the same facility who was stranded at her bank after waiting over an hour for her Radio Cab. I was with another client so she had to be rescued my the community's medical transport car. How is Radio Cab still in business? Starting tomorrow, I will be helping residents install the Lyft app and giving one on one instructions to help them become comfortable with this far superior option.

I called dispatch and was told the driver considered me a no show. The dispatcher then said they'd send another cab but they never did and would not answer the phone when I called. They stood me up two more times when I was stuck downtown, one time late at night. I now realize they 86'd me without bothering to say so, preferring to leave me stranded and waiting. How vindictive and passive-aggressive! I will definitely get the word out to boycott this company and I intend to report Radio Cab to the Better Business Bureau. This happened in Portland, Oregon, not San Francisco.
