New fare box busted? Don't call us!
They have installed "refurbished" but the supervisors cannot fix them so don't call in, write a work card. Unbelievable!
I happen to be interested in this subject so I have some knowledge. They are supposed to be "as new" and were much much cheaper than completely new ones.
See http://www.trimet.org/pdfs/meetings/board/2011-10-26/Res-11-10-76.pdf
BTW, that file is missing from their Web page of old resolutions: http://www.trimet.org/meetings/board/prev-meetings/index.htm
Here is why the bus farebox really doesn't matter... I think they're close to #1 on the list, they appearently call themselves "Portland Metro Area (TriMet)"
Remember:
ReplyDeleteMAX gets the new stuff. Like lots of new TVMs (that just don't accept cash).
Bus gets the crappy hand-me-downs.
Why, of course, Erik!
ReplyDeleteCould we ever expect anything different?

ReplyDeletemy apologies, but why hasn't my comment shown up?
ReplyDelete@'some body': the comments get moderated because there has been a lot of spam recently. They'll show up if you're patient. Yours is there now
