Transport

Public

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

Airport

If you're coming from the PDX airport:

• The trip from PDX to Hillsboro via MAX takes around 2h, but only costs $2.50/person.
• Cab fare can cost $90 before tip from PDX to Hillsboro.
• A rental car may be a viable alternative to cab fare. Driving takes around 30-40 minutes during non-rush-hour. You'll be following signs to Portland, then Beaverton, then Hillsboro.
