TriMet will reduce service on 20 of its 84 bus lines starting January 9 due to a shortage of bus drivers, the transit agency announced Friday. The reductions will decrease TriMet’s total bus service by 9 percent, which, according to the agency, will be comparable to the bus service TriMet adopted at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in April 2020. The reduced bus lines are throughout TriMet’s service area, including Barbur/Sandy Boulevard (Line 12),.
