Passengers abandoned at Transit center
A driver friend of mine had an emergency the other night and couldn't complete the route. \The riders had to get off at a transit center. It was the last bus on that route of the night.
Trimet abandoned those riders, they were left stranded, no other bus came to pick them up.
This happens more than people know.
It's symbolizes the complete and total failure of Trimet as a reliable transit system

TOMORROW A BIG DAY FOR ME
I am actually going to a sign up! Haven't been to one of those in more than a decade!
While I'm interested to see exactly what choice I will have (I will have 19 choices) I also want to blog the sign up process. Of course I had better be careful and avoid getting anybody on video since I could be FIRED ON THE SPOT (or at least suspended) for violating the sacred rule. (I have personally witnessed dozens of other Trimet employee pictures/videos that are in violation but of course I am the only employee who actually gets in trouble for it, SOP for Trimet, persecute the people 'they' don't like look the the other way for the people 'they' do like)
The other reason I am going is to visit my favorite place HR (human resources) so I can find out the EXACT procedure for doing my retirement.

SOME INTERESTING COMMENTS FROM ATU PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BRUCE HANSEN
(regarding the ballot being sent to union members)
What I'm asking is show me proof that Trimet is broke!! Up till now we were told that status quo was good. Why the change? Why No documents shown (at least to the E-Board). Just words, hmmm have we heard those before? Sam has always said follow the money. This would be a great Idea for our current leader to hold an open forum for Q&A.
Oh yea why has Trimet management taken over a MILLION dollars in pay raises,and job creations ? Is Trimet's money problem self inflicted?

DRIVER RETIRES AFTER 39 YEARS DRIVING A BUS
I didn't know this guy but they actually decorated his bus on his last day. I don't know how anybody could actually drive a bus that long but my hats off to him. He seems to be in pretty good shape from the picture.
