The most important part of the project is the very high reliability rate, as well as the 8 daily round trips. I'm guessing we would see an enormous jump in usage... and it would probably begin to start competing with the airlines at that point, since the line is downtown - to - downtown.
Also, full build out of the rail improvements would drop the trip time to only 2:30 minutes.
I also read somewhere that Oregon is requesting some rail improvements from PDX to Eugene, but I can't find a solid source yet.
