Another major factor is safety. I know a few people who used to regularly ride MAX from Hillsboro to DT Portland and they avoid it like the plague anymore. One of them was telling me that there wasn't a single ride she would take where she didn't deal with or witness harassment from/towards transients or mentally unstable people. She got to the point that she didn't feel safe commuting by MAX anymore and is now paying for parking or gets rides to work.
