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.

I'm an able bodied looking person and after deplaning, I asked the Alaska gate agent for wheelchair assistance. She said she would call for someone. 20 minutes later, one guy come but there are two of us that need wheelchairs. The guy stops at me first, but then goes to the less looking tabled body person and takes them. After another 20-30 minutes, I ask the Alaska gate agent to call again. Meanwhile I see several people pushing empty wheelchairs. The gate agent refuses to call again, saying she did twice. I asked if I'm just supposed to wait hours and she shrugged her shoulders. I was left in a hard place. Not only is walking long distances painful for me - but adding weight by carrying my luggage makes it harder. After getting myself together, I start the walk. I went to Alaska customer service. On the way I see at least 3 people with wheelchairs sitting and talking. The lead that comes up was rude. She said "I'm sorry you made it all the way up here with no wheelchair." If I didn't mind being on a do not fly list, I would have spoken up for myself, but instead, I left. Shame on you PDX and Alaska!
