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.

Stop #2 on "The One Day Portland Adventure"…read more This is the intermediary between locations, but it serves as an important transition. As I rode along in this mostly clean, mostly quiet, public transit, I searched for places to get a tasty donut. Eventually I was able to triangulate that Doe Donuts was just a .3 mile walk from this stop through an area past a Trader Joe's. I jumped off the train at this stop (almost missed it because I was just figuring out the marquee with stops in it) and stood bewildered at a concrete patio that just ended. I spun around and realized there were stairs to a walkway. Up I went. There were house to the right and what looked like industrial buildings to the left. So I went left. .3 miles to donuts. Let's GOOO!!

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.

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.
