SOMETIMES I WONDER HOW I EVER MADE IT THROUGH 15 YEARS OF TRIMET BULLSHIT
One of the highlight of my career was the management idiots who made the decision that we should all drive our buses with chains on, in the rain!
INSTANT REPLAY
This was the call the got me started on the down hill road with the new Trimet management, illustrating for the public just how AWFUL THIS JOB CAN BE! The public never hears this! The media doesn't cover it. They have no interest in covering the real story of Trimet bus drivers. You take a job as a bus driver, understand EXACTY what you are getting yourself into because they won't tell you this in training.
TRIMET KILLED ME WITH 1000 PAPER CUTS
When I look at the past, and review some of my excellent material (and boy do I have a collection like you wouldn't believe) it's obvious why I left that place.
TRIMET RETIREE WAYNE JOHNSON SPEAKS TO THE BOARD
His testimony is quite profound and worth listening too. How much has changed since Mr Johnson came on board.
Blast from the past!

Bus Drivers and NE Portland Neighbors Push TriMet to Tweak Cuts
"TriMet management has deemed not to include enough time in their
schedules" to continue to the route to Jubitz, where there is a bathroom
bus drivers can use 24 hours a day, reads the union's letter, signed by
President Bruce Hansen. "For the local businesses that have the outside
cafes, we totally understand the annoyance of diesel fumes your
customers are subjected to."
Though it bungled the roll-out of the #8 reroute, TriMet has made some changes in response to neighbor complaints. The agency posted signs saying that all idling buses must be turned off and TriMet spokesperson Mary Fetsch says that as a temporary fix, 40 percent of the buses will use a different layover location in the spring.
