This is my first time back to Portland since getting my Yelp ID (though I used Yelp extensively to…read morefind places to eat my first time here - how do you NOT Yelp in Portland?!?), and I continue to be glad MAX is available to get around, at least to the areas it services. It's even more user-friendly now than it was back then, and the "you're fully paid for the day after 2 rides" option is great. This station looks like it's ready for a little bit of a makeover. There isn't a lot of information readily available, which would be a big help for first time-users, but if you know you're coming here, you can get all that online. There's only one MAX card machine here, but perhaps you only need one given how easy it can be to pay using a smartphone app or a credit card with a tap option. It would also be nice to know how many minutes the current train will be there before departing by a sign somewhere, but navigation services on apps can also give you that information.

There is also a Fred Meyer store just a five minute walk from here. Tri-Met keeps the area clean and well maintained. There are often a lot of questionable people hanging around so it's always a good idea to stay alert to your surroundings.

Traffic flow was smooth, and signage was excellent. Sidewalks were in great shape, and lighting "fixtures" were newer and added a bit of pzazz all around. I felt safe walking around in terms crossing from one side to the other. If you need to leave your car parked while you hop the bus, I think that's fine, but I suspect the earlier you arrive, the easier it will be. I did have questions about the bus lines going to and from downtown, and my questions were answered by a well-informed and friendly driver, but then I'm partial to TriMet drivers as my brother is one. There is a break room and bathroom for drivers, and being related to a driver I know how important these are. Next time I work over this way, I will look forward to using this transit center again.

My wife, mother-in-law, and I had the opportunity to travel through the Portland International…read moreAirport for a quick sightseeing trip in Spring of 2026. We got to see the beauty of the massive airport expansion that completed in 2024, along with the friendly kindness of the employees. I now understand why PDX is ranked the best airport in America. It's been over 20 years since I last visited Portland (not counting the Amtrak that we took from LA to SEA), so the airport was very new to me. We need wheelchair assistance when traveling with Mom, and an assistant was waiting for us at the jet bridge. He took us through the parking garage to the nearby car rental building. Definitely walkable but busy: later we learned that there is an underground, heated tunnel between the building and airport terminal. What really interested me about the airport was how everything was connected. It consists of only one terminal, split into two sides: North and South (each with its own security checkpoint); four concourses (A-D), with Concourse B and C on the south end. All concourses are connected via airside corridors (no need for intra-airport train or shuttles), with some having moving walkways. There are a total of 60 gates. We got to experience the airport a lot more on our way back to LAX. Dropping off our rental car was easy (actually got someone to acknowledge our return of the car, which isn't common anymore at airport returns). There is no rental shuttle, so asked the nice Dollar attendant, who then called Delta to ask for wheelchair assistance (she needed to know the name and flight number). In about 15 minutes, Curtis came by and took Mom to the various stops, with my wife and I tagging along. Like at other airports, a good attendant can greatly simplify the navigation of an airport, especially through the security lines. We needed to check one bag (had bought some craft beer to bring back), and Curtis waited patiently while I interacted with the super nice Delta agent. While waiting, my wife told me later that Curtis had been like a tour guide, explaining the airport expansion, especially the iconic wood ceiling in the main hall. North Security was next. Security has all the newest processes, including TSA touchless ID, which meant we didn't need to show our IDs or boarding passes. We were flying out of Concourse D, so went to the Escape Lounge in the Concourse. That's where Curtis left us, letting us know that he would leave the wheelchair in case we would later need it. On our return flight, we had a chance to interact with A LOT of workers from the airport, and EVERYONE was genuinely talkative and pleasant. I'm sure it has something to do with that it was a Saturday, but as we talked to Curtis, he stated that most folks at PDX were like that. Of course, a modern destination airport has to have affordable light rail connections, with connections into the heart of the city. Portland has this route running every 15 minutes, costing $2.80 for a 40 minute ride. Will visit downtown Portland via rail next time.
