Portland's TriMet is dealing with technical problems arising from a failed maintenance project and a record-breaking heat wave.
"TriMet said it wouldn't check fares Wednesday as it grapples with delays due to heat and computer errors," reports Eliot Njus.
"The agency has struggled with persistent network outages since a scheduled maintenance project went awry on Saturday. An attempt to fix a lingering issue brought the MAX light-rail system to a halt mid-morning Tuesday, causing delays later compounded by temperatures nearing 100 degrees," adds Njus.
