Rich: Thanks for pointing this out. $2.50 is definitely much more appealing than $35! I just tried the "Trip Planner" on the TriMet site and it shows that a trip from the airport to 550 SW Oak Street in Portland can be done on the red line alone. http://tinyurl.com/b2w43or Does that look right to anybody who might be more familiar with the area? It looks like a longer walk to the hotel from the station, but still only 0.3 miles. I'd prefer a longer walk to making a transfer on a light rail system that I'm not familiar with. Thanks!
