Sound familiar? The problems NEVER get solved at Trimet, ever!

160 series bus, dated clothing (bell bottoms), bad hairstyles (feathered), and that crappy building on the eastside of 82nd and Holgate is still there....must be the 80's.

That warning did NOT come from 1983, it was added to the original clip and is not from it

Al M said...

WTF r u talking about Mchuff?

Jason McHuff said...

The warning was quite likely added by the person who made the video clip for the Web at the time it was uploaded, and is not a part of the original 1983 clip

Sorry, but I don't see what the fuss over the tacked-on, tongue-in-cheek "FBI Warning" has to do with the point that this is a real newscast clip from 1983, and fare evasion was a problem 30 years ago for Trimet.

I was viewing this post on my phone where I see what looks like just a picture of the warning.

It should be noted that, at the time TriMet had srlf-service fares, so evaders weren't challenged by the operator.
