The Oregonian ran a eye-opening article Mess transit: A two-hour slog this weekend.
It showed these commute comparisons:
From Hillsboro to Tualatin
Driving = 29 minutes
Tri-met = 1 hour, 42 minutes
Sherwood to Beaverton (Nike)
Driving = 20 minutes
Tri-met = 2 hours, 2 minutes
Gresham to Oregon City
Driving = 31 minutes
Tri-met = 2 hours, 14 minutes
That looks horrible!
