@apmargulies Thank you, Al. Driving a bus should not be a survival exercise though.

DRIVING A BUS SHOULD NOT BE A SURVIVAL EXERCISE
TriMet was not the only one delayed today
Or, there were problems with the lower deck of the Steel Bridge, too (among other things)
Amtrak Train 14 (northbound Coast Starlight) was recorded as leaving Salem at 4:22PM and didn't get into Portland Union Station until 9 o'clock. Over 4 1/2 hours to get from Salem to Portland.
A rider's companion notes that 1/2 hour or more was spent sitting on the other side of the Steel Bridge waiting for heat-related issues to be taken care of. It was also heard that a woman rider with a walker did not make it off the train in Salem.
In addition, southbound Amtrak Cascades train 507 arrived in Portland late due to heat/weather issues where it was held for the Steel Bridge issues until almost an hour after the next southbound train, 509 had arrived.
TRIMET ACTIVIST 'HB'
They are the most annoying people in Portland Metro, they need these cards to educate themselves, I got nothing but rage for them sometimes, but we must coexist......to a point, LOL
"Are buses legally required to yield to bikes in a bike lane before pulling to the curb?
All vehicles are supposed to yield the right of way to people in the bike lane, but there's an exception for vehicles operating "in course of official duty."
But there's no excuse for a bus cutting you off too closely. "It's
gotten a lot better because now the bus drivers are afraid they're going
to squish us," says Thomas."
HB
p.s. They need to know that exception!!!
ANOTHER MEETING OF THE TRIMET SOCK PUPPETS
This is the July meeting-I can't watch these anymore since its all BULLSHIT and hype and preplanned.
