TrimetScanner Tweets are HERE!
Becoming harder to be a bus advocate with every bonehead move. Thanks for rerouting my bus to take twice as long. Brilliant
Is it a coincidence that every train I've taken this week has gone incredibly slow & not stayed on anything resembling a schedule? 

Driver of 2274 is having a bad day. Hope he cheers up before he picks me up tonight. 

This special message brought to you in part by trimet public transportation. 😷  

Hey trimet... SUCK MY DICK. 

We have easily spent thousands on fares since we moved here. It's so annoying that ppl can not have it and get a warning.  

"Hoping to deploy a pilot of electronic fares in 2015", i.e. 3+ more years of crappy ticket machines.  

Fucking trimet. I'm late to work now because of u 

TriMet has been atrocious recently. I’m late almost every day. So annoying! 

35 bus took an unnecessary detour south of downtown (regular road was now open) that cost us almost 10 min.  

Oh. Great. Same crazy fast driver on 5101 as yesterday. To top it off we have bus 1624 w/ zero suspension. Hey there bumpy bus ride!  

Packing them in like sardines on TriMet today. 

Portland police and K9 unit at the Rose Garden Max stop. What's up with that? 

I just love it when the MAX is late and then sits at every stop for 5 full minutes. Fuck you, . 

p'd off. 78 to Lake Oswego packed, driver shoving us like sardines. No more room. Bus # 2906@ 8:18am. Rude and mean driver. 

both ticket machines at Clackamas TC are not working. No fares for us today:-( 

Both the Validator and the ticket machine at Rosa Parks Southbound max stop are broken.  

Stuck on the Steele Bridge for five minutes without an explanation  

Omg Trimet you stink. 

Trimet was so slow today. If I pee myself before class I blame the bus. 

Love getting the door slammed in my face  

Was there any reason 9406 stopped short on Market platform? No buses in front of you....? 

yesterday i was late for first period cuz i left the house late and had to take trimet and i was planning on mrs. martin-cohn to ask why and 

Good news: 9406 doesn't want to make me throw up. Bad news: why are we in the far right lane N of Capitol? 

So an excavator is busy at barbur tc big dig project filling in the hole. EXACTLY why did this require $70k and two months??? 

both machines at the Killingsworth MAX stop were broken. Hope I don't meet a fare inspector today! 

its amazing how many inconsiderate people make an 8 month pregnant lady stand on the max and buses 

These children smell like poop.  

fried chicken on the max. classy portland.  

I really hate


Urge. RT : Why is it everytime I.am here I have to pee? (@ TriMet Rose Quarter Transit Center)

Becoming harder to be a bus advocate with every bonehead move. Thanks for rerouting my bus to take twice as long. Brilliant 

What's going on the the #8? I'm waiting for one that's 45min late, then there's 5-6 of them within 10 min. 

The day we have an elected board is the day we have a truly public transit system.  

Is there ever a day when the 12 is on time. Currently 15 people waiting at the stops on Sandy  

As usual, line 15 is late and filled beyond capacity. I guess this is the new normal even with fare hikes.  

Just saw a TriMet bus slip into a cntr turn lane, drive straight thru a signal and 500' along a 2-way LT lane, to avoid a queue.  

Trimet could generate so much good will by just adjusting schedules to reflect REALITY 

Compared to 's shoddy 3rd world bus service, MAX/Streetcar is absolutely gold plated. 

Note to : It doesn't help when one bus runs 3 minutes hot, then follower is crush load, then goes so late that its follower passes it 

Dear bus driver on the 15: That was so unnecessary. -sick/tired/hungry me.  

I'm afraid to breathe on public buses  

smells like dingle berries n moth balls ... 

But what's worse is people taking pictures of other people on trimet. How about privacy, folks? 

Idiot smoking at the line 20 bus stop at sw burnside & 8th. 5:04pm tuesday 10-9-12  

What does this mean : that the entire stop is closed and only rt 43 has a temp stop, or rt 43 is detouring?  

Thanks to 94 refusing to wait for me I'm standing ON the yellow line of the follower's crush load/SRO bus. 

Wait, you mean ya'll didn't know? At least one is almost always broken. O.o 

Having broken my bike so it's unsafe to ride, I now have to brave . For a ride home. Could be worse. 

FUCK AT&T AND TRIMET

what good is a transit tracker when one buses doesn't stop and it doesn't show next's arrival? StopID 4964  

MAX riders are asking why TriMet didn’t do a better job of protecting crucial communications gear, especially since...  

Wow. bus driver said this traffic coming down from OHSU tonight is the worst he seen in his four years driving. 

Stuck on a traffic delay-impacted Bus 8. Finally made it down from the hill.  

#8 svc is crap today and transit tracker is all false promises, soon to be reset . oh, lk, it finally came after70 mins 

Hey for the extra 40 cents a fair I kind if expect you to get your shit together.


Sounds like I was lucky to have made it home at all today on a bus. Bikes people, wave of the frickin' future. Next to lasers. 

Hey - its a real bummer to have your officers mock passengers. Plenty of unemployed people would happily take their jobs. 

Damn! I used to commute on the 66, that was a nightmare. Hope you get home soon! 

. This is worse than inner loop rush hour traffic in DC. Happy to sit back, relax, and play on my phone on .  

It has taken 1 hr 15 mins to get from OHSU down to SW 6th and Sheridan on the #8. It's the traffic, not . Props to our bus driver.

Read the board resolutions, watch the board discussion (including during the September meeting) and maybe one will find out
