I was wondering if anyone knows which light rail or bus routes/lines to take to get from PDX airport to downtown Portland. one more thing, would you also use light right to get from downtown to campus? Thanks!

OHSU is up on Marquam Hill, and the light rail doesn't go there (to my knowledge), but the Red line does take you downtown where you can grab the 8 Jackson Park right to OHSU. You should go here: http://www.trimet.org/ and put in PDX and OHSU and fill in the time and it will tell you how to get there.

Once you're downtown you can also take the streetcar, a localized light rail, to the aerial tram, which is a fun way to go up the hill and get a great view of Portland.

And a huge waste of tax payers money...but yeah, I agree, buy into the system and enjoy the view.

But it's certainly nice for us tourists who save $30 bucks on airport shuttle/cab. 🙂

True. Yes, take the Max (lightrail) downtown, and I'd also recommend staying downtown instead of trying to stay anywhere near OHSU.

Since you're from CA, bring an umbrella 😛

I was talking about the air tram; I should have made that more clear. Please do take the max and/or bus. The max blows right now because of new line downtown, though.

Thanks so much for the advice everyone! I'll definitely pack an umbrella and print out this thread to bring along.
