TriMet News: Fall service takes effect Sept. 18 with TriMet’s FX2-Division launch and other improvements, service reductions

Starting Sunday, Sept. 18, TriMet will launch of our first TriMet FX™—Frequent Express—bus line. Our fall service also brings minor service expansions and schedule improvements to 17 bus lines, plus updates to bus stops at Gresham Central Transit Center and the Portland Transit Mall. However, we’re also reducing service on 10 existing bus lines, including canceling service on two low-ridership lines, due to the current operator shortage. The 2% reduction in service levels is temporary to bring schedules in line with our current staffing while we bring on more operators. With more than 30 lines being adjusted for fall, we encourage all riders to visit trimet.org and plan a trip for Sept. 18 or later, to see how they could be affected by these updates. More
