This is my first time back to Portland since getting my Yelp ID (though I used Yelp extensively to…read morefind places to eat my first time here - how do you NOT Yelp in Portland?!?), and I continue to be glad MAX is available to get around, at least to the areas it services. It's even more user-friendly now than it was back then, and the "you're fully paid for the day after 2 rides" option is great. This station looks like it's ready for a little bit of a makeover. There isn't a lot of information readily available, which would be a big help for first time-users, but if you know you're coming here, you can get all that online. There's only one MAX card machine here, but perhaps you only need one given how easy it can be to pay using a smartphone app or a credit card with a tap option. It would also be nice to know how many minutes the current train will be there before departing by a sign somewhere, but navigation services on apps can also give you that information.

There are several buses that stop here, including #s 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 87. There are covered shelter areas with benches. There is a park and ride area as well as secure bike parking. There is also a Fred Meyer store just a five minute walk from here. Tri-Met keeps the area clean and well maintained. There are often a lot of questionable people hanging around so it's always a good idea to stay alert to your surroundings.

Stop #2 on "The One Day Portland Adventure"…read more This is the intermediary between locations, but it serves as an important transition. As I rode along in this mostly clean, mostly quiet, public transit, I searched for places to get a tasty donut. Eventually I was able to triangulate that Doe Donuts was just a .3 mile walk from this stop through an area past a Trader Joe's. I jumped off the train at this stop (almost missed it because I was just figuring out the marquee with stops in it) and stood bewildered at a concrete patio that just ended. I spun around and realized there were stairs to a walkway. Up I went. There were house to the right and what looked like industrial buildings to the left. So I went left. .3 miles to donuts. Let's GOOO!!

Sometimes emergencies or rush situations happen and scheduling medical transport with wheelchair capability can be a serious hassle since most transport requires advanced scheduling and planning. COMPARISONS - Sadly many insurance don't cover non-emergency medical transport. Getting old isn't cheap and medical transport isn't either, compared to other similar services ANEMT rates are average to a little better. MetroWest transport is the most popular and great, but they are constantly booked at least 1-2 days out or 5-10 hours for same day. MetroWest also has stair capable wheelchairs and stretchers by request and door to door service. TriMet offers basic medical transport for fairly cheap via shuttle, but they don't offer door to door so you'll need someone to push if the chair isn't motorized and electric. Uber and Lyft have wheelchair capable vehicles, but again, no door to door service and requires advanced scheduling. Interestingly Kaiser Washington State insurance covers non-emergency transport, but not in Oregon. Above and beyond - Along with being able to respond quickly with door to door service, they helped with transferring inside the home to and from the wheelchair. Aways super nice and friendly guys. Easy pay via credit card through a tex message link or over the phone. Have questions, be sure to ask, they are very helpful and accommodating. Good service, responsive, fast and better pricing than most. Thanks for taking good care of our family.

This is the first time I've been to Portland international airport, and this has to be one of the,…read moreif not the nicest US airports I have ever been through. It has gone through a massive renovation that changed it from just your average "airport", to a bright airy space that is actually a pleasure to go through. It's about 20 to 30 minutes from downtown, there is bus and light rail service to the airport, and it sits right on the Columbia river, which is the state line, giving it easy access from Washington state as well. It is definitely a big airport. If you are renting a car, you do not have to take any type of airport shuttle. There is an underground, climate, controlled tunnel, connecting the rental cars, and the main terminal. It is about a 10 minute walk, but they do have moving sidewalks, and you can also rent luggage carts at a reasonable price. There are also tunnels and pedestrian bridges connecting the short term and long-term parking lots to the main terminal. All the check-in's are in one centralized area. They have people to help you find which aisle your check-in is on. You just walk up to that aisle number, and check-in. Once you've checked in, you go through security, and it's on to your gate. You can walk between all of the Concourses without having to go through security again. Again, it is a big area, but in the concourses, they also have the moving sidewalks and luggage carts available. There is lots of shopping and food/drink outlets, with an emphasis on Portland/Oregon businesses. They even have entertainment inside the terminal. I loved this airport, and I hope I get the chance to fly through here again.

Whether it or not it was psychological, I felt having all that greenery was mood lifting yet calming.

The amenities were clean and all the people from check in to gate were friendly and helpful. Lots of dining options and things to do while waiting. I hope to return to PDX either as a destination or layover and consider it an top tier airport.
