I work in a building on 4th Avenue that has a bus stop served by the 12 line (which I use to commute to/from work).

Starting next week, I will no longer be able to have my non-bus pass toting friends join me, unless I want to walk four blocks to catch a MAX train.

As for “safety” I have never felt unsafe on the bus or around a downtown bus stop. I have, however, felt unsafe at the Lloyd Center MAX stop – which, ironically, is what started the debate over the future of Fareless Square. And somehow TriMet morphed the argument to attack bus riders and consider them “unsafe”. So we will have fewer bus riders, and the Lloyd Center MAX stop will still be full of gangbangers and drug dealers at all hours of the day.

@Old Town: I think there’s an elderly/disabled pass.

If, as suggested, there will be little impact on Zone businesses, why the change? Will there be measurable increase in TriMet revenue? Will the new policy result in a safer MAX and bus transit? Won’t many of the elderly and disabled be at a disadvantage? Will there ever be study of the impact?
