Ah Light Rail...where would we be without ya?
But to be honest, this all is pretty interesting to read.
You got the money to give to him, MacFarlane will build it
Previously, McFarlane had served as TriMet’s executive director for capital projects since 1998. In this role, he led the development, design and construction of TriMet’s capital facilities, including the Airport, Interstate, I-205 and Portland Mall MAX extensions, and WES Commuter Rail. From 1991 to 1998, he was TriMet’s project control director for the 18-mile, $963 million Westside light rail project.
Prior to his time at TriMet, McFarlane worked for Metro and helped manage construction for the 500,000-square-foot, $90 million Oregon Convention Center with landmark twin towers, successful public art program and cost-effective design.

HEAR YEA HEAR YEA!!
The church of light rail invites all its followers to its functions where we will celebrate the coming of our lord, light rail, and give thanks to the HOLY CHURCH OF LIGHT RAIL, and its high priest, NEIL MAC(the knife)FARLANE.
Rumor is...
Rumor is that a Merlo executive board member is about to be fired for fraud. Might find position at ATU 757 office.
SEE? WE DO KNOW BORING IS THERE!
And we're going to give them a teensy bit more service to prove it.
Pretty funny that they made a news release just for line 84. Sort of like a desperate plea from TriMet to keep Boring in their service area.

How is the PMLR bridge construction going?
Just see for yourself. TriMet has wasted a whole bunch of money on TWO fancy bridge cameras and now we are so privileged to be able to watch a monthly, weekly, or daily time-lapse OR the very exciting live video feed from each of the cameras.
Oh the fun!
Oh the fun!
TriMet Crackdown
To the long-time users of TriMet who are now grousing for being ticketed for not paying, I say "Boohoo" ("Fare warning: TriMet going after cheats," Aug. 30).
However, maybe if TriMet would use part of the $69 it receives from every $175 fine for not paying the fare to instead repair the ticket machines, there would be fewer people riding without paying. It's pretty hard to buy a ticket if the machines don't work.

So, TriMet is cracking down ... again? Here's what happens:
1. Cheater is ticketed and given a court date.
2. Cheater ignores the court date.
3. A warrant is issued for the cheater.
4. Cheater is located, taken into custody and, because of overcrowding, cheater is released with another ticket.
5. Cheater rides TriMet home.
6. Cheater ignores the new court date.
TriMet should be free to all.

How about a challenge, TriMet?
Look at those smart people. We'd never see anybody at TriMet doing something like that....or would we? How about it, TriMet? You go out an do what these transit executives did.
