Love Portland transit system, it is very easy to get all over the city. Been to several cities and so far Portland and Seattle have the best bus train systems. Buy an all day ticket and ride it all over the city as you take in the sites.

We use the max all the time. It serves all parts of the Portland area but also goes to Hillsboro to the west and Gresham to the east. It's cheap and reliable. The streetcar is also a good way to travel to OMSI and the Pearl District.

We used the Max Red line many times during a car-less stay in Portland. The line got us to Washington Park easily, and to and from the airport as well. A bargain.

Always love taking these, takes all the work out of the miles put on foot, though we still do plenty of that, because we like to get a good sense of the area.
