Public transport is pretty reasonable around Portland, though for any of our European friends - it's not *THAT* good. We've got a number of options for getting around, the most useful (and part of why we chose the house we are in) is the MAX line, light rail, but the others are:
- MAX Light Rail ($2.50/2h trip or $5/day)
- Bus line (same fare works on bus and light rail)
- Wes Commuter
- Portland Streetcar
