The Mountain Express Bus is the transit system serving the Mt. Hood Corridor in Clackamas County, Oregon, United States.
Since 2004, the Mountain Express has provided transportation service from Rhododendron to Sandy, serving Zigzag, Welches, Wemme and Brightwood in between.
It connects with the Sandy Area Metro bus system, which connects with the regionwide TriMet transit system.
The Mountain Express had about 1,000 riders a month in 2005, according to the Villages at Mount Hood the quasi-governmental organization in charge of the program. Ridership demographics indicate strong usage by seniors, the disabled, and afterschool youth.
Famous quotes containing the words mountain, express and/or bus:
“What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“To live life well is to express life poorly; if one expresses life too well, one is living it no longer.”
—Gaston Bachelard (1884–1962)
“There was an old man from Darjeeling
Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
It said at the door,
“Please don’t spit on the floor,”
So he carefully spat on the ceiling.”
—Anonymous.
