OH NO! NOT THIS AGAIN!

Can somebody please explain to me how this is TRIMET'S (or drivers) fault!


KGW news story here!

Brought up by Blogger "J"-Guy not supposed to be taking trailers on Max
Types of Bikes Allowed on TriMet:
Only single-seat, two-wheeled bikes, folding bikes, and recumbents the size of a standard bike are allowed on TriMet.
* Tandems and bikes with oversized wheels, three or more wheels, trailers or those powered by internal-combustion engines cannot be accommodated. Electric bikes with a sealed battery compartment are permitted.
* Some bikes have wheels that are too large or too far apart to fit in TriMet's racks.
* Folding bikes must remain collapsed while on board, and must have a wheel size of 20 inches or less.
* Bikes with child seats, panniers or other accessories that block an operator's vision out the front of a bus are not allowed.

"people inside the train tried to stop it."

Not hard enough, apparently. Why is it that teens screwing around can figure out that pulling the red knob that says "EMERGENCY DOOR RELEASE" opens the doors and stops the train, but no one seems to be able to make that connection when parents get separated from their kids?

To say nothing of the fact that you can't bring a bike trailer on TriMet anyway

Segway on MAX is OK. Bike Trailer NOT OK.
