Ride the bus.

THE VERY RELIABLE MAX!

THREE max trains broke down today. Oh, and it gets better--it was during rush hour.
That explains the huge crowd of people at SW Morrison and 3rd max station, westbound, earlier tonight.
Great timing, huh? I wonder what types of trains these were? type 1, 2, 3, or 4? My suspicions lie with types 1 and 4. But we'll probably never know, now will we? Unless, that is, the media pulls a story out about the break downs from today. Just gotta wait and see.

  • It might not be so expensive if it hadn’t been designed using the outdated assumption that we drive more and more every year. (Truth is, we’ve been driving less and less since 2005 – see page 7 of this unrebutted study by economist and CRC critic Joe Cortright.)
  • The government is sorta broke.
