Funny text message exchange between me and another blogger

FYI - railvolution is going on in LA this week...


Skimming the program now for TriMet bs, so far just seeing that Neil is moderating a session on community development (big surprise)

Ha! GIVE US DA $!

Yup Alan lehto also presenting on urban circulators. Like what? Streetcar maybe, but why would he talk about that?

Who the fuck knows. It's all nonsense!

Hah! Section on rider advocacy & serving the transit-dependent. No TriMet names on that panel ;) Haha! Kathryn Krygier (never heard of her) who is apparently the transit oriented development program leader at TriMet speaking on a panel...

A panel. WOW!

Ooh, panel on transit blogging. No TriMet representation there (their blog is pathetic anyway)

Haha ! You're cracking me up here!

 But it's true :)

 Sure is A lot of ch2mhill representation here...

 How wonderful! Buy our product!

 Those were the only TriMet names I saw, I might have missed others, but I know they typically send most of the capital projects staff to these. Because flights, hotels, food, & conference registration are obviously mission critical

 Absolutely

 Bet you all of the images in their presentations were of the 3000s and type 4s, as if that was an accurate representation of the fleet as a whole

What they won't show the 1400's?

 I think a nice shot of a 1700 belching black exhaust into the air would be an accurate depiction of the average TriMet bus Hehe!

Would be nice for TriMet to use all that staff time, and instead of flying a bunch of people around on aluminum tubes that literally do nothing but poop out carbon monoxide at a rate far, far, far higher than a single-occupant Hummer H1, to actually sit down right here in Portland and focus on just fixing our broken bus service...
