TriMet cuts minutes from routes to save millions

Pamplin Media Group, Nov 9, 2009 (10 Reader comments)

TriMet is shaving a few minutes off nearly two dozen bus routes to save about $3.5 million in its 2009-10 budget.

The changes, which go into effect Nov. 29, will cut two to four minutes from the frequency from the bus lines during off-peak hours. The changes should help TriMet close a gap in its $31 million in budget cuts.

The reductions will affect these bus routes:

• 4-Division/Fessenden

• 6-Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd

• 8-Jackson Park/NE 15th

• 9-Powell/Broadway

• 12-Barbur/Sandy Blvd

• 14-Hawthorne

• 15-Belmont/NW 23rd

• 17-Holgate/NW 21st
