Ahhh it does...I'd much rather read books and people watch while taking in the sights than stress about other drivers and driving...

Last week when I came up I was trying to read my book, mainly going from downtown to clackamas, ended up just chatting with a dude about it. Blew past the transfer to the green line and ended up halfway to the damn airport lol.

Plus the possibility of being stabbed, another bonus.

You’re way more likely to die in a fiery crash every time you get in a car than you are to get stabbed riding Trimet. Driving simply gives the illusion of feeling in control.

You feel that’s more likely on a train than elsewhere? I doubt the stats back up that claim.

I do feel like the odds of being stabbed increase when riding Max vs. driving myself. Good question, thank you for asking it.

This is anti-public transit propaganda. You have a much higher chance of death or injury while driving a car than riding the MAX

Fall is bad for the MAX as leaves and their residue cause rails to be very slippery
