Aha, perhaps that is the issue: if Portland, billed as mass-transit friendly, sucks this much w/r/t MT, it's understandable that people would try it and say "well if this is the best mass transit can do, then no thanks."
Edit: Went to check the map - and yes, it does look very...rudimentary. http://trimet.org/maps/img/trimetsystem.png http://trimet.org/maps/img/trimetsystem.png

- steveax 11y agoAs a resident of Portland, my own anecdata is that transit is pretty good here. 30min from downtown to the airport for instance. As I noted in another comment, it's difficult for me to imagine a 100min train commute here. Taking the longest line (Blue) end-to-end, through downtown takes ~100min [1] [1]: http://trimet.org/schedules/maxblueline.htm http://trimet.org/schedules/maxblueline.htm
