Starting next week I will be out exploring the parts of the transit system that I never experienced during my career at Trimet.
I will also be re-discovering some of the early days of my career, back when I was doing crush loads and running extremely late.
Of course I will be taking along my trustee video camera to capture all the excitement.
And now I do it as a CITIZEN, no more disciplinary letters will be forthcoming.
This will be an interesting chapter in my life in Portland. I'm here for quite awhile it seems.
As long as I'm around, I might as well continue my hobby, TRANSIT BLOGGING.
Now I can do it from the other point of view.
Since there are so many new drivers, I'm hoping I won't be recognized.
Most drivers may have heard of me somewhere, but they do not recognize me when they see me if they don't know me.
That has been my experience as an employee anyway, I surely do not want to be recognized as I prowl the transit system.

Glad you're going to do this! I ride Trimet regularly and there are so many operators I never knew, so that it's usually incognito.
The good news - the huge majority of operators are excellent - despite how management treats them.
No doubt, the huge majority are trying their best to provide the best to the people that ride the system.
If anything its the institutional failures the have turned the riding experience sour for the passengers.
Come on down and ride the 51!
