Though a few serial killer sprees on the Oranage Line may skew things. :-)<br /><br />Hey TriMet, you want riders to tell their friends and family how safe and wonderful TriMet is and reap the rewards of increased ridership? Then clean the damn buses & trains and get some cops/volunteer ride-alongs to do enforcement/outreach from now on. <br /><br />TriMet execs know all this stuff, they are transit pros. It's just not their job to care that you feel safe so they don't. <br /><br />I went to a TriMet board meeting. Nary a mention of customer service/customer satisfaction statisitics related to key indicators for increasing ridership. <br /><br />Not a surprise then that I see so much fear on the faces of vulnerable riders (and at times we are all vulnerable riders). It's almost as if it's by design. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
