RANTINGS OF A FORMER TRIMET BUS DRIVER: Todays 'seen and heard on Trimess'

Tuesday, August 14, 2012

Oh how I love my @trimet oven on wheels, as 40 new A/C buses sit unused in a N Portland parking lot. They could be serving the public...

@BikePortland @trimet @anomalily Thought it was notable that the type 5 does nothing new to address bikes. Boo.

Big, fat, sweaty, & hairy bald dude sat down in front of me on the MAX. Horrendous smell. You can see the sweat on his head #gross

‏@bananacave

#TriMet is running late due to the heat and people are sardines standing crammed in there. I can't wait till my September parking kicks in!

‏@runbecause

Good call, @trimet. It's 90 degrees out and there's not even breathing room on the train and the driver turns the AC off.

‏@awildheart

@trimet yet again I watch as a number 12 scheduled at around 602 @ stop 9190 just turns onto the 99 ramp skipping sherwood. Thanks a lot

‏@stevevance

@Intersection911 @doctor_jeff I find it unfortunate that TriMet MAX stations are limited to such short trains.

State of @trimet bus stop 99W and Walnut. "What makes this place great!". Cleanup please!! pic.twitter.com/kqhQfsBh

‏@giedosst

Jacking up the fare to 2.50 and ending the free zone? Fuck you Trimet! Fuck you good and hard!

‏@giedosst

1200 a year to ride the crowed, dangerous and overpriced Trimet system, fuck that shit! I encourage everyone to ride a bike!

‏@SWCorridor

RT @vanlue: @trimet The arrival screen at the Tualatin WES Station has been out for days. Is it possible to have someone look into that?

‏@PDXtrimetrider

@trimet tvm #135 is broken again. The screen is still messed up too. Now, i've been gone for a week. You had enough time to fix it

‏@josephjaramillo

Had to try three ticket machines to get one that worked. It’s like @trimet revels in its own incompetence.

@trimet has now officially fucked my entire morning...I didn't need any of those billable hours. Not like the east coast is working already.
