[Talk-us] Restoring bus routes in Portland

[Bill Ricker]

Please to specify which Portland on subject lines.
I can't tell if this is referring to something within driving distance or
not.

Contrary to local opinion in PDX, there are other Portlands.
Since posted to talk-us, i can discount Portland, Dorset. (The original
Port on an Island.)
But Portland ME (PWM) has buses and is in USA.

When speaking of Portland (or Springfield, etc), if one fails to specify
which, one communicates ones parochial bias, not ones intended meaning.

Folks in the several Springfields are well aware of this - only the
Simpsons fail to specify which Springfield unless for strictly local
consumption - but PDX seems to think being the #1 city in a pacific coast
state that isn't California but doesn't border Canada either makes it
obviously "the" Portland.

In this case, 'TriMet routes' buried in 2nd graph will confirm for someone
in the local region that it's their Portland ... but i don't know how
either Portland's transit has rebranded in recent decade, i'm still
wondering.
