Read the full post at the Mercury:
TriMet General Manager Fred Hansen may have skipped two public hearings on the matter, but apparently he got the message: Portlanders don’t want TriMet to curtail Fareless Square, cutting it back to 7 am to 7 pm, as a stop gap measure that TriMet says will shore up public safety. Hansen has killed that proposal.
TriMet will, however, do a “comprehensive review of fareless” over the next 18 months, as previously announced.
[Update: TriMet has now posted the Press Release and Fred Hansen’s statement on their site.]
