And since it is...why does TriMet still have the schedule and information up on their website about it?

TriMet is screwing the pass holders!

Reader poll: Which story do you care less about?

Wow. Saw 4 or 5 people on the washington pk shuttle going down the hill just now, but only a minute earlier, the 63 came down the hill with 1 person

Here's my 51. Poor driver only gets a 3 min layover: bus was 6 min late

Got a pretty late 51 here....well, I guess that's to be expected on the first few days of a new signup with new drivers...

TriMet: News Release - TriMet adds extra service for Grand Floral Parade

Again. 
What, has it been like these last 2 or 3 weekends, TriMet has added extra service and stuff for one reason or another?
And again in this news release they claim that this upcoming Saturday is the busiest Saturday of the year after claiming that in the news release for the Starlight Parade too.
Nice job, TriMet

Well-intended advice for Muni operators

That was a long time ago..

Found it by accident off of google. I wish fares were that cheap now...this must've been taken years ago.

Not sure what this is, but it's cool!

The Creeping Nausea of American Exceptionalism

 By the way, I hope you don't think the homefolks here in the USA are all that deliriously happy with representative government either. These days, despite all Sarah Palin's bluster about "freedom" and "our heritage," elected officials are held in about equal esteem to herpes viruses. Congress and the senate are paralyzed by triviality and the President is too busy golfing to disturb the status quo - which is the status quo of a house on fire. We won't have to wait much longer to find out how unexceptional America actually is.

Believe who you want

I am not bashing our union; I am standing up for my rights as a member to be reported accurately. I am sharing this information with other members to allow them the opportunity to do the same. If enough members feel the same as I do than maybe a change might be made. Fear and intimidation can only last so long. Sam use to scare and intimidate me and now he just pisses me off. I am sure I have pissed him of more than my share as well. I cannot and will not except the responses of “that is just how it is” and “you just have to accept it”. Our members do not have to accept anything they do not like.
Going Back to TRUE Union Values
Good job, Chris.
