Just something I wrote after school one day because I was bored. Someone recommmended to me that I should think about submitting it to Peer Review, so I am.
Comments/criticism is much appreciated.

~Very clear.
Obviously being a Brit I know nothing about it, but do any of the stations have a history ? Used as film sets or drama backdrops ?
Just trying to give it a bit of character.

Looks good so far
Major point: it would be nice to have more details, and to separate the entry into the history, the structure of the system (you've mentioned the tunnel, but does the rest run on streets, on separate land etc?), how it works and so on.
Minor points:
The title isn't too clear as to what the entry is about - how about 'MAX (Metropolitan Area Express), Portland, USA'
Construction on the original MAX line --> Construction of
I think it's worth pointing out that the Red line essentially follows the course of the Blue line except for the section towards the airport. You should also point out that the centre is served by loops of all three lines.
Interchanges: you should mention that you can change to the Portland Streetcar at Gallery/SW 10th and Library/SW 9th.
How to Ride: I'm not sure it's a good idea to quote prices, as they're not really that useful. However, linking to the MAX fares page (http://trimet.org/fares/index.htm) would be ok, and definitely keep the mention of the fareless square.
Hope you find this helpful

416 - are you still about? This looks really promising and h2g2 could do with an entry on the MAX system

Is this officially on it's way to the Flea Market? If you don't mind, I'd like to pounce on this now and get working on it.

No longer Scouting and Flea Marketing I can't say for sure, but on last looking the Scout database hadn't quite reaching 20. When it does the Italics remove listed Entries from PR and then a Scout can add them to the Flea Market. So it might be a while until it does 'cross over'.
The answer to your question is most likely -
Yeah, go for it, credit the original author, you know the drill

I'd leave a massage at the Scouts Forum to that effect, or even remove it from the Flea Market database yourself

I'd go for a cassowary myself. More colourful.
