> Portland's mass transit is a joke (I can bike downtown end-to-end faster than MAX can crawl through it)

TriMet is currently looking into moving MAX into a tunnel downtown, and with fewer stops [1]. Part of the reason it's _so slow_ right now through downtown is all the stops, and because it has to stop at lights.

That is amazing news, thank you for posting it. It was a tragedy they didn't do a cut and cover tunnel for the green line when it went in. They had to shut down all the streets and move the sewer etc. anyway!

Any discussion of timing the lights to MAX rather than the reverse?
