Govenors office replies to MOW complaint
Governor
Kitzahapers office responded saying he is forwarding my complaint to
the states transportation manager to look and see if there is any area
the state can help with. His liasion warned however that while Trimets
board is picked by the governor it is operated more like a private company than a public agency.
We love light rail
Possibly west side bus bridge....

NO SMOKING AT BEAVERTON TC?
Apparently there are signs posted throughout the transit center that say "NO SMOKING"
The signs don't say "no smoking within 10 ft of shelter", just NO SMOKING.
Why are those signs there if they are wrong?
NON TRANSIT USE PROHIBITED?
I guess that depends on who are you are.
A rail operator called dispatch to let them know there was a man preaching a the Gresham Transit Center.
Dispatch told them there is nothing they can do about it.
So I guess that means that non transit use is allowed, unless your like a person who has no where to go, then non transit use is prohibited.
Typical bullshit.
Runs cancelled due to management screw ups
Runs were cancelled do to fare box problems. Another management screw up but they are not accountable:

WERE'S THE FREAKING VIDEO?
PORTLAND - Surveillance video from a TriMet bus showed a passenger approaching a driver in a "menacing fashion," but no physical contact between the two, a spokeswoman said Monday.
The driver did not press charges, but there were initial questions last week, over whether the passenger may have punched the driver.
After reviewing the tape, TriMet spokeswoman Roberta Altstadt said the passenger appeared to be yelling at the operator. Then, the passenger jumped up and quickly approached the driver "in a menacing fashion."
"Initial reports from the scene stated that the operator was punched, however, the video shows just a verbal altercation," Altstadt stated.
As a result, the passenger was kicked off the bus and will not be allowed to return for 90 days.
The driver continued on his route on the 45-69 line after the incident.
Transit Police Division officers also investigated the incident.

TRIMET TO DELIVER THEIR VERDICT ON WEDNESDAY
TriMet pain due to arrive Wednesday; Portland parking drama; Clint Eastwood is the ultimate car salesman: Commuter roundup | OregonLive.com
Wednesday is D-Day -- D as in “downsize” -- for TriMet riders.
That’s when Oregon’s largest transit agency is expected to announce a long list of proposed service cuts, route changes and fare increases to deal with a budget shortfall of up to $17 million.
General Manager Neil McFarlane has promised to avoid slashing service if at all possible, since the past three years have essentially cut into the bone of daily bus and train schedules. But you can bet there will be more bad news for low-ridership bus routes and MAX runs in 48 hours.
Well, technically, until there’s a round of public meetings and the board votes, it will be proposed bad news.
As The Oregonian has reported in recent weeks, you should also expect to see plans for the elimination of Free Rail Zone, a significant increase in adult fares and the end of two-way transfers. According to leaked documents from McFarlane’s in-house budget task force, the agency is also expected to start pushing riders to purchase $5 day passes and to end fare zones.

Rampant Lion
I am a ‘big picture’ kind of guy. Our workers and the people we serve
both have the same problem—bad leadership that doesn’t believe they have
to answer to us—the people, with their anointed appointed Board of
Directors, and us workers with our gerrymandered incumbent Presidents.
We are constantly being divided against ourselves by the wedge issues
our so-called leaders, their management henchmen, and their private
profiteering pirate pals publish in the popular pabulum-puking press!
Downright dirty and disgusting, wouldn’t you say? This is the root of
many evils as I see it.

JACK BOGDANSKI SCOOPS THE NEW TRIMET BOARD PRESIDENT
ATU 757 MEMBERS UPSET WITH UNION PROCEDURES
There are plenty of disgruntled union members after yesterdays meeting.
Since Trimet pretty much makes up this union and without Trimet members there is no union at all, there are concerns that we need to be more focused on Trimet issues during the meetings, maybe a meeting only for Trimet members is appropriate.
Another problem is the fact that there are time limits on the meeting.
These meetings need to continue until all the members present have their say, our officers WORK FOR US and need to listen to us till we are done.
