What amazes me is that there is one "Director" for Commuter Rail...and one "Director" for bus operations.
Let's see...
One highly paid "Director" to oversee a transit operation that only operates seven hours a day, five days a week, with three vehicles in service and 1,500 riders per day.
One highly paid "Director" to oversee a transit operation that has over 600 vehicles in service, 20 hours per day, seven days a week, with nearly a million riders per day.
And it's any wonder why people are pissed off at how TriMet treats bus riders. TriMet deserves to have about 20 "Directors" to oversee the bus operation, each of them fully responsible for their assigned bus routes, AND empowered to make operational changes - even immediately - to improve service to the rider.

No, its a director and many managers, assistant managers, station agents, etc. With WES, its just like how, at a small business, the CEO is also the supervisor.
And I think you're a little off on the daily ridership. There's only about 100 million rides a year.

Ya the WES is nothing but a money sucking ongoing disaster!
Lots of financial holes at Trimet because of that little experiment!
