When the Portland metro area runs out of transit money...

Bikers get the short end of the deal this time

What's up with new signs on MAX near bike hooks?
So if people hogging the bike area don't move, what are us bikers supposed to do? It is no fun at all riding a sardine can full MAX train standing, holding your bike.

TriMet fare jumpers, beware

Fare evaders just make me mad. Unless you have a valid reason for not yielding your fare, you should not be riding transit.

Crime on the MAX!

And the media freaks out...While Michael Anderson at Portland AFoot explains what's really going on. And Max at MaxRedline makes fun of it.

Meanwhile, TriMet proceeds to add more cameras to MAX stations. As if more cameras will do anything...

Streetcar, Streetcar, Streetcar...

Streetcar MUST be built out to LO. It is mandatory....except for the fact that people don't need it...and they can't figure out how to pay for it. Yea, let's build this streetcar out to  LO! We'll find the money somewhere...just gotta start lookin for money under couch cushions...
