TriMet Bridge is too low for many boats

May ridership?

So, i've got a question for you, trimet. When are we going to see the may ridership figures and stuff?
You ever going to release those?

44 with a low floor bus painted in the new scheme. Usual or unusual?

Queen of Line 70

A ride on the line 70. This was well over a month ago, but I just found it back. Enjoy.
The bus pulls away from the stop. It is empty now. A few people walk along the sidewalk. Nothing unusual. 
The bus sits halfway pulled out of the stop--we've got a red light. 
Someone comes walking  down the sidewalk with a cell phone held in one hand. She is about 200ft from the bus stop as she does this. Her face wears a look of irritation, this irritation, of course, directed at the bus driver. She holds her free hand out in a gesture as to say 'well?'.  She stands on the curb, holding her free hand out still looking irritated. 
I guess she wants the bus. 
The driver kindly opens the bus door for her and she takes her time strolling over to our bus as we wait for her, that phone still to her ear. 
She holds some transit pass up for the driver to see as she slowly gets on the bus. 
These are a type of people who everybody hates. They delay the bus because they can't get themselves to the stop on time and think they're the queen as they expect the bus to get them wherever they are.
She must think she is the queen.
Anybody else got stories from bus adventures? :)
