In these times of economic suffering, it would serve the public well if Trimet would recognize that many people are unable to start a new job because they haven't the initial fare to get there. It can be 2 weeks or more before a struggling potential employee can even afford a one-way trip. How about free pass vouchers for those beginning new work? I'm sure the 'executives' would worry about the loss of revenue while working on their chip-shot... Instead, such people are heavily penalized for their struggles. Typical one-per-center's.
One thing that KATU has failed to reveal is who receives the money from the fines. At a rate of $200+ at roughly 40 per day (just the number of citations reported by KATU for today) ends up being quite a lot of money. The Trimet execs won't be suffering, that's for sure.

I think there are places that will give out tickets. Whether there's enough to meet demand, I don't know.
