Where did brother Dan go?

I’ve know Dan Christensen for many years and always thought he was the best! He won’t talk to me anymore on Facebook or twitter and he never even took one minute to explain that To me

What’s unfortunate is that he has turned full fledged Trimet apologist pic.twitter.com/w855E3ObOM

Contract time at Trimet. Post by Neal Berlin

FYI: Only a few days left for contract suggestions. Here's a suggestion about the road relief and the lack of pay according to the law.

Memory lane

I’ve been observing today’s operators dealing with all this conflicting rules and regulations and it brings back some memories

The Neal Berlin collection

From the Trimet Drivers side

Because this self-important, entitled nobody decided an upbeat operator was too unprofessional, they called in a complaint after exiting the bus. It was insinuated that this dear, sweet lady had to be under the influence to exhibit such behavior

Robert Butler smack down on Trimet

He made two appearances at Trimet and was never heard from again

The Simpsons episode on the light rail scam

From the Trimet Drivers Side

Our politically-appointed "Bored" of Directors, which approved taxing the metropolitan-area working class to support its out-of-control management boondoggles, simply sign off on whatever they are told to. Sure, they endure monthly meetings with the public, but they appear disinterested as to whatever public testimony they pay attention to. They're actually nothing but a glorified joke. Pandering as necessary, the board is too accustomed to accepting the status quo to do anything considered to be rocking a leaking boat.

Trimet

I don't see how ya'II could or would work for a company whose mission is something you oppose.  Sure, I like our retirement, but I spent 25 years working for Trimet.  I am neither ashamed nor embrassed of my time there. I believe in the mission because I believe mass transit is good for any metropolitan area.
I also believe that most employees strive to give the tax payers a good value for the money.  Our retirements are dependent on current employees successfully growing that company.
