TriMet is also reducing bus service due to severe weather conditions as Portland continues to deal with the impacts of an ice storm that arrived Thursday night.
TriMet will reduce or cancel service on ten bus lines in September as the agency’s historic bus operator shortage continues to worsen, the agency announced Wednesday. While TriMet has aimed to strategically reduce its service to lessen the impacts of the shortage, the reductions include the agency’s most popular bus lines that serve low-income communities within the city. “The trickle-down effects of our operator shortage can cause frustration despite our best efforts,” a Wednesday press.
