Frequent Service buses:

These are buses that come by every fifteen minutes or so, practically working throughout the day and into the night. Schedules for such lines aren't available because of their very frequency. Those waiting for these buses can even call 503-238-RIDE to find out when the next one's due. This is the primary line of buses used by the people of Portland.
