ERIK MAKES A GREAT POINT ON POOR BUS SCHEDULING
But there's no problem scheduling a 10 minute layover for every single
WES run at Beaverton TC, and 26 minutes for each WES run at Wilsonville.
For every 90 minutes of service, the trains are in revenue service two 27 minute runs (54 minutes) and on layover 36 minutes. And THAT has to be protected at ALL cost, while bus is nickel and dimed...keep pushing the bus operators further and further, they don't need breaks nor do they have the stressful job that a WES Operator (and Conductor!) have...

THIS MAN IS A MONSTER
I have never worked (or used to work in this case) in any environment where the management purposely creates a hostile work environment for its employees. This man is directly responsible for many of the incidents (about 12+ a day) by preaching how over paid and over compensated Trimet drivers are thereby creating resentment in our riding public. He is also responsible for allowing news items to be publicized that show 'driver negligence.' Many of the 'leaked' stories are not even the fault of the operator, but does McFührer care about that? NOPE, anything to destroy his unionized employees
SEEN ON FACEBOOK
ATTN: ALL TRIMET EMPLOYEES THIS IS IN YOUR MAIL
BOX READ IT AND DO EXACTLY AS IT SAYS BY AUG 3 OR YOU WONT HAVE A JOB
AND WILL BE SUED
METRO SUPPORTS MCFARLANE AND HIS UNION BUSTING AGENDA
Welcome to Orygon, soon to be a red state, of course this is no surprise. All these gubmint careerists in this area stick together. (which is why i loved sam adams sticking it to Mcfarlane)
Look at this bullshit, everything is lovely except for those union employees who are ruining Trimet, absolutely sickening..

The assumptions that TriMet's problems are created by
governance are misaimed," he said. "TriMet's problems are created by
an unfavorable state law that requires their negotiations to take place in a
particular way, which leads to a labor contract that ultimately is
unsupportable."

Trimet activist "HB" continues pushing for real improvement
This guy is a tiger, he is not going to be discouraged. Trimet needs more operators that are willing to speak out!
PETE TAYLOR DIED YESTERDAY!
Joe Rose throws a little barb at Trimet
- TriMet says construction of the $1.5 billion Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail line reached “a major milestone” today. What is it? The first rail being set into the earth? No. The transit bridge is done? Nope. Nothing like that. "Year 2 of construction begins," TriMet trumpeted in a weekend press release. In other words, the earth continues to rotate around the sun. (Insert joke about wishing your bus showed with such consistency.)
