TriMet and Linnton - Let our People Go!

Oregon Live article on proposed service cuts impacting Linnton.

Outlying areas always seem to suffer first when a transit agency makes service cuts. I think that if a public agency abandons these areas, that citizens of these areas should be able to form their own locally controlled transit systems, and be exempt from most regulatory impediments. An entrepreneur with a passenger van should be able to transport passengers to downtown Portland if our public agencies are failing the needs of the populace.
