Along with changing their

System (RIS) to its passengers.
cated on Fifth and Sixth streets
in downtown Portland.
The
shelters will contain six panels.
The first panel is an overall lay
out of the tri-counties which are
divided into seven service areas.
Each individual service area is
coded with a color and a symbol.
For instance, all riders busing
from either Oregon City, Mil
waukie, Lake Oswego or West
Linn should look for the "leaf"
symboL upon the appropriate
shelter, Prowda said.
The second panel will pre

buses will be taking in that par
ticular shelter.
The RIS system was installed
in an effort to make riding much
more convenient for the passen
gers, said Bob Prowda, director
of marketing for Tri-Met.
' RIS will include schedule in
formation, a series of maps and
charts and a closed circuit tele
vision system.
While inside the shelters, the
rider will find a closed circuit
television screen which is con
nected with Tri-Met's comput
erized route and scheduling sys
tem.
Main busing shelters are lo
The third panel, according to
Prowda, lists the buses, their
route number and name of line
inside the shelter.
For riders who are in a shel
ter which does not show their
desired destination, the fourth
panel is used to help the rider
find a shelter that will help him
locate his bus, Prowda said.
Besides the new shelters, mush
room-shaped kiosks are placed in
eight locations throughout the
mall. Each kiosk will include a
television screen and keyboard.
Riders will now be able to
push a button for their de
sired route numbers and infor
mation concerning route and
scheduling will appear on the
screen.
