The Beaverton TC is older than 1998; I used it regularly in 1995. It wasn't a light rail station until 1998, but... 71.32.251.8 10:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

(Should of posted this sooner, but) I'm pretty sure this is correct. I've saved a bunch of TriMet stuff from NewsBank (Oregonian archives) and should dig up the articles on BTC. I think it said that MAX was originally planned to go on the south side of the bus bays (maybe where the commuter rail will be) and that the transit center may have been re-constructed for the MAX opening (like the operator break room expansion when the Red Line extension). In fact, I think I even have the articles about the actual TC opening. Lastly, I think I just discovered that the bus bays from the old Beaverton Transit Center still exist...but maybe not for long, as it sounds like the street may be closed as part of commuter rail construction[1].

Oh, and there's some nice views of MAX and buses at the TC on Microsoft's Live Maps birds-eye [2] --Jason McHuff (talk) 06:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
