Frequent Express
Frequent Express (FX) is a high-capacity bus service operated by TriMet in Portland, Oregon, United States. Operating as FX2–Division, the route runs east–west from 5th & Hoyt on the Portland Transit Mall in downtown Portland to Cleveland Avenue Park and Ride in Gresham via Division Street. It connects Portland City Center, Portland State University (PSU), South Waterfront, Southeast Portland, and central Gresham, with transfers to MAX Light Rail and the Portland Streetcar. FX features bus rapid transit (BRT) design elements such as dedicated lanes, transit signal priority, and buses with all-door boarding. It is the second such service in the Portland metropolitan area after The Vine in Vancouver, Washington. Fares are collected through the Hop Fastpass payment system. The Portland metropolitan area's regional government, Metro, adopted the Regional High Capacity Transit System Plan in 2009 and initially identified Powell Boulevard between downtown Portland and Gresham as a priority for public transit investment. Subsequent planning ultimately resulted in a bus route alternative farther north along Division Street. Construction of the Division Transit Project began in October 2019, and the FX2–Division route opened on September 18, 2022.
