TriMet trainer Stewart Jolliffe clears up some lies put forth by managment

The management has been lying (as usual) about Trimet bus drivers being trained to take turns at 5 mph.

Stewart Jolliffe was subpoenaed as a witness at the Sandi Day trial.
Here is what he had to say:


He also disagreed with TriMet training manager Morgan's testimony that drivers are trained to make turns at 5 mph. He said he trains drivers to make turns at a "slow and reasonable speed. There is no number."

He further clarified how professional bus drivers are supposed to take turns, also disputing the lies put forth by our beloved managment:

He said a good turn requires three lanes to make turn -- two on the street from which a bus is turning and the one in which they are continuing.


"We do it at 100 intersection; we do it everywhere," Jolliffe said.


Greenlick asked the defense witness if he was aware that such maneuvers are considered illegal for other motorists. "Is it illegal? No," Jolliffe responded. "Because that's what we have to do."
