Overview
- Two small pygmy goats boarded a TriMet bus during the morning commute and were captured on the agency’s surveillance video.
- The bus operator reopened the doors and passengers shooed the goats off the vehicle before they wandered back toward a nearby shopping center.
- TriMet said Portland Police checked the area and no further 911 calls about loose goats were logged the same day.
- The agency confirmed the animals were returned to their owner and that the owner repaired and locked the pen gate to prevent more escapes.
- The footage went viral, drawing millions of views and inspiring TriMet merchandise, and the episode recalled earlier, odd transit encounters in Portland’s recent past.
