On December 11, 2009 The TriMet Board of Directors approved the
awarding of a $38,495,887 contract with INIT INC and its
subcontractors General Electric and Tait Radio Communications,
to replace all TriMet radios. TriMet will issue payroll tax
backed revenue bonds to finance the project. The first bonds
were issued October 2009.

DID IT EVER OCCUR TO THEM?
I’ve been enjoying the public testimony on the service
cuts and it somewhat surprising to watch the ‘independent’ hearings
administrator just interrupt the speakers when 3 minutes is up.
Really, how much would a DIGITAL CLOCK cost so that
speakers can see how much time they have.
Interrupting people in mid sentence seems so Mickey
Mouse.
STING AT BEAVERTON TRANSIT CENTER
An interesting police sting occurred in Beaverton Transit
Center yesterday.
A man had his car stolen from the Beaverton area. The thief
contacted the owner and demanded a payment of $500 for the safe return of the
car.
The owner of the car did what anybody with any brains
would, he contacted the police.
The police had the man go through with the deal. The exchange was to take place at the
Beaverton Transit Center. (Brilliant)
The police had TriMet bring in an old bus. The bus was
parked at BTC and left dark as the exchange was to be done at night.
Nobody noticed a bus parked in BTC of course, but this
bus was full of cops.
The carnapper came to BTC to do the trade, the bus door
opened, all the cops poured out and arrested the brilliant car thief!
TRUE STORY!
TIRED OF DRIVING A BUS FOR PEOPLE THAT DON'T APPRECIATE YOU?
Then head DOWN UNDER, BUS DRIVERS NEEDED IN AUSTRALIA!
