So I was just informed by Lane @PDXTransitlane that the CL Line is being served by a bus bridge while they add the switch to the OMSI stop location. So here’s the last minute switcheroo… we’re going to meet at McMenamins Market Street Pub. It’s on the streetcar line (NS and CL line technically). It’s located at 1526 SW 10th. Everything else is the same as mentioned previously.

Transit… Meet
Sometimes it’s a transit beer, this time it’s a transit meet. Transit riders, rabble rousers and hobbyists, come one and all to the upcoming transit meet. Here’s the plan logistics.
We meet at 6:30pm on this coming Monday (tweet or DM me on twitter @transitsleuth to RSVP so we get a count for who is coming) at the OMSI Streetcar StopĀ (map) for a ride of the loop as is, with a stop at a destination that is to be determined. We’ll see how well we can make a decision on where to stop. So come with at least a buck or two for the streetcar fare! If you don’t have a buck, be sure to bring the new iPhone App and we’ll see how well it works! Ā …or breaks. Ā š¦
Either way, here’s some topics that we’ll dive into:
- Transit Sleuth TV will likely be filming, so bring your game face and tell us what you’d like to see on Transit Sleuth TV.
- Where’s that new light rail, I mean bus rapid, I mean… where’s that new service going to go?
- We’re going to take a look at Al’s favorite topic, labor costs and how driverless buses are the future! Super exciting!

Ok, so it’s really on more than just merely the streetcar line. I figured that’d make things even easier. I’ll call ahead and forewarn them that a bunch of transit geeks will be arriving to fix all the world’s problems – so the appropriate fanfare should be prepared. š
…and remember, have a good transit ride so you can share the adventure when you arrive.
NOTE: This is an all ages place, so feel free one and all to join us. There is beer available, so you can toast to transit if you’d like. Cheers!

Alright, here’s the guidelines. Help me out figuring out a place to meet up that anyone can get to easily – via transit, bike or something other than a car. I’d love to go somewhere along the new streetcar line just to kick off some conversation around that.
So here’s the voting options, which day works best for everyone?
…and what’s the best times available for people Monday-Thursday?
