What really counts is how many dwellings, workplaces, and stores are passed per minute. From this perspective all the time those commuter oriented trains spend speeding through suburbia from one park-and-ride to the next doesn't count for much. The Portland Street Car is covering more valuable distance in only a few minutes as it ambles between Powells and PSU. With GIS we could calculate something like quality sources and destinations per minute of travel.<br /><br />ScottAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592661028488951223.post-41619993716394328272012-01-05T19:57:02.853-08:002012-01-05T19:57:02.853-08:00Agreed.

Then ditch Pioneer Place, Oak/SW 1st, Old Town/Chinatown, Convention Center, and NE 7th. Yellow/green line is better, until it dawdles and meanders by Union Station. And they're all screwed by the Steel Bridge! Maybe an earthquake will take care of that. Just kidding.

You actually did Trimet a favor by stopping both trips at pioneer square. They should be ranked lower.<br /><br />They need to get rid of the PGE park and pioneer place stops, move the streetcar/library stop to the other side of 12th consolidate the three 1st avenue stops into two and get rid of at least one of the inner east side stops.<br /><br />At least they did better on the Green and yellow line. Although I still say running one of the lines down the inner east side where the streetcar is going and then over the new bridge so that you have counter-rotating circles around both sides of downtown makes way more sense than the current plan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8592661028488951223.post-5811598761676901602012-01-05T05:06:13.611-08:002012-01-05T05:06:13.611-08:00Very nice analysis, Steve.

Certainly politics plays a big part in how many stations each line has, perhaps at the expense of efficiency.NeilMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136508797938795651noreply@blogger.com
