MORE STUPID TRIMET SHIT
Holy Jesus God What. That's been a month I didn't get it. I am excluded from Tri-Met for trying to give that old man my ticket.

Latest "seen and heard on Trimet"
Portland A-Foot always finding interesting info
- Even after fares go up, it will still be cheaper to ride the Green Line to Lents than to buy enough beef jerky to pedal there.
- Despite all the chatter, TriMet bus operator compensation is only 6 percent above average among similarly sized agencies. (However, this doesn’t include health benefits in retirement, something TriMet has promised its employees up the wazoo.)
- TriMet’s 2012 budget, including rail construction, would theoretically be enough to rent every transit commuter in the City of Portland a personal stretch limo to drive to work every weekday all year, plus a free Stumptown coffee for the morning ride. (Though not enough to build the extra highway lanes this would require.)
- Money. All of it. | Portland Afoot
ONE MORE TRIMET FAILURE
This was promised with the BDS system that is now in place that Trimet calls obsolete. It was supposed to do the exact same thing that the new BDS system is doing. The original system was $6 million dollars, this new system costs $34 million dollars (financed with bonds of course). The new system has been a complete failure as of this date. Trimet is one and a half years behind schedule getting it going. Everything that is outlined in yellow is something that was promised that was not delivered.
Lane Jensen busts another Trimet driver
I'm not sure what it is about Lane that makes Trimet operators act so stupid, but he seems to have that effect on them. Here we see a Trimet driver plowing right through 2 stop signs.
