TriMet will start bus service on three new lines Monday, including a north-south route expected to increase service in underserved east Portland.
The new lines are among the specific improvements the transit agency committed to make in 2015 and represent a significant investment in east Portland in particular.
The new lines come as the agency is poised to make more additions to its bus service in the tri-county area thanks to an influx of cash from the state transportation package approved in 2017 and a boost in payroll taxes levied on employers.
