Portland's Tri-Met wants to buy additional equipment for its little-used WES commuter train. No plans to add frequencies at the moment. They just want to have more train sets on standby. :wacko:
The only times I've ridden WES, the entire passenger load could easily fit in a single transit bus. A suburb-to-suburb, low-frequency commuter train just isn't drawing a lot of riders, surprisingly. :huh:
