Summary:
A smattering of short takes in downtown Portland, mostly along 5th Ave and some crosstown streets. At the end a short trip out of town to the end of the FREE zone.
All the TRI MET system is free around and in the city.
NOTE: The TRI MET MAX driver controls the traffic lights at the intersections from controls in his cab. Ride is comfortable, clean, and sociable.
Note the streets in the city are jammed up with cars and traffic, and how clean the city is as well.
Portland, Oregon Proves that Light Rail Works for America!
A city that is decades ahead with mass transit in the US.

@RIRRmuseum You're welcome! San Diego's trolley system is nice and efficient! Their Coaster regional rail links right up to it at Downtown and Old Town.
Have fun on your travels!

Sorry you feel that way, but its' the future get used to it.

@Lukelr the light rail lines criss cross the city streets... I doubt they use them for freight work.

Just one track huh? Major fail right there.

This video is an excellent presentation of light rail. For some reason, Portland's light rail system reminds me a bit of the light rail systems I've seen in Europe.
I live in Los Angeles and I'm happy to say that our light rail system is currently being expanded. :)

@dekfungton Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the compliment. I was a life long Amtrak guy and I've been around the system three times and many corridor trips along both coasts.
I love to check out the LRV's and PDX has always been my FAV. San Diego is nice too. Austin is just getting into it with the Metro with plans to expand in south of the city.
I haven't really tried LAX LRV but I will next time out dude!

I did notice different evolutions of design, I rather like the rounded more streamlined look.
