Verbal Descriptions
Here we verbally describe the routes in words, so you can form a mental image of each bus line. (Route diagrams appear on other pages, and on TriMet's site.)
- Line 35 gives South Burlingame and Collins View neighborhoods a path to North Portland, Downtown Portland, South Portland, Lake Oswego, and Oregon City. 35 is a split route!
- 35 "T" comes up Taylors Ferry Road from Macadam, turns south (left) onto Terwilliger and runs past Tryon Creek State Natural Area to Hwy 43, then south to Lake Oswego and beyond.
- 35 "R" does not pass through Collins View, it stays down at the River level. 35R uses Macadam-Hwy-43 to get to Oswego and beyond.
- Both 35R and 35T routes return the way they go...
- Collins View folks need to be aware of 35R vs 35T when boarding in downtown, Lake Oswego, Oregon City, and so on. Use the Trip planner or Tracker. Know your Stop IDs.
- Line 38 connects the Tualatin Park & Ride with downtown during M-F commute.
- Line 43 runs between OHSU and the Tigard Transit Center, with Ida B Wells HS in between. You'll see it going by Collins View's boundaries along Taylor's Ferry Road, and turning at the intersection with Terwilliger.
- Line 45 connects the Barbur Transit Center on one end with Washington Square TC on the other. It serves Ida B Wells high school. It uses Stephenson Road! It passes Jackson middle school. Line 45 is a new route (Fall 2026) that combines route 39 with the existing 45 route, eliminating #39, but with the same Limited Service Hours as the 39 had. Weekdays Only!
- Line 45 continued... There are just two "runs" of #45 in the morning, and two runs in the later in the day, to match up with school start/dismissal. Two buses (vehicles) will run on route #45, departing the opposite ends, heading toward the other... arriving/departing Ida B Wells at key times. Look at the schedule and you'll see what I mean.
- Line 12 runs on Barbur Blvd and is a relatively frequent service 7 days/week. It may take 20 minutes or longer to walk to Barbur depending on where you live in CV, so it isn't quite "local".
- Many more bus lines go through Hillsdale, which is reachable via #45 and #43.
