Matt – One piece of transit advice, move to Portland. Vancovuer will not do if you regularly have to travel to PDX.

The multiple bus practice is key to getting the best performance out of TriMet. I often can beat any auto driver on a course of errands any day using the bus system. Gotta love the transit.

Thanks for the tips.

Anyone have any ideas for public transit from Downtown Vancouver to PGE Park and back again?

Man I had a day off a couple months ago and took a bus to my friend’s place, and on the way home the bus went by Cleveland HS, and filled up with kids. I was terrified.

I got one:

Do not, under any circumstance, make eye contact with the nut job sitting up front trying to chat with the driver.

Sunglasses and ear buds may deter some of the nutters, but don’t count on it. Do not smile. Just keep looking out the window.
