Trimet bus riders pay and pay and pay for rail

Well simple  as this: bus riders are the low class of transit for TriMet. We don't matter to TriMet. The buses, the bus riders, the bus drivers don't matter to them at all. The rail is first class. Bus is third.

Way too much, Portland

TriMet strengthens commitment to diversity, cultural competency | TriMet
Seeing TriMet making these news releases is just hilarious to me. Like they really do?
The best part is the fact that these new people that they are hiring will likely do next to nothing, yet be paid a ridiculous amount of money with great health benefits while TriMet proceeds to pledge the 'we're broke' stanza.
