A renegade is brought to justice
"Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are: Portlandia. The dream of the '90s is more alive than ever."

Maybe Portland should change its name to Portlandia then if the so-called "dream of the '90s is more alive than ever."

MAX leaves the station with 2-year-old, not father
http://northportland.katu.com/news/news/max-leaves-station-2-year-old-not-father/440184
Don't you just love how the reporters in the video sound so skeptical of TriMet blaming the father instead of the operator?
And to comment on the MAX doors being kept open longer as a solution? Well, 15 seconds should be enough. Altering this to make the time longer would change the train schedules slightly and possibly make the trains run at slightly less frequency as they do, especially during rush hour, which would make a lot of people unhappy. If you can't board the train in the 15 seconds the doors are open, I guess it's not your train, now is it?

TRIMET RELEASES VIDEO OF MAX INCIDENT
Here
Ya know, this guy doesn't act too worried when the train departs. he walks around a bit and then digs (what appears to be) a cell phone out of the bike trailer. He also doesn't act too excited or anything when the supervisor brings his child and bike back to the MAX station.
Really worried, huh?
This incident was completely the father's fault. It actually surprises me that TriMet is defending the MAX operator, but I'm glad they are. This MAX operator was not at fault here.

This doesn't sound right...
Do TriMet buses really have Transit Signal Priority? I didn't think any buses did. What I thought was that TriMet had looked into it, but never gone through with it.
Now if TriMet really did have it and it worked for late buses, that would be great.

Transit Sleuth
He got lucky. Sounds like he has great transit access to and from his house.

Typical Boregonian...
Still, even after the highly embarrassing Green Line incident involving Bailey and his son in 2009, TriMet hasn’t changed its training or even sent a courtesy memo to MAX operators about the risks of children and parents being separated. What's more, no training bulletins in the past 18 months have urged operators to be more vigilant of parents with young children on platforms.
