Today's "seen and heard on Trimet"

But not seen on TRIMET'S HOW WE ROLL BLOG!
 TRIMET SCANNER TWEETS   
Getting whiplash on broken train to pdx airport. Ridiculous. Twenty yards brakes slam. Should have let us off at last station.
 
 
13m
Fire McFarlane now. RT : Mentally filing away for the next time someone tries to tell me that MAX should come to the Couve.

seriously. fuck off. i am now stuck wandering ne 82nd tonight. REALLY. REALLY! I will send you my antibiotics bill.

Westside MAX crowded and not timely.

I particularly like the part where trains go back and forth across the bridge, just without any passengers.

Riding 1 to Vermont? Guess what? You get to ride in a 23 year old non-air conditioned bus today!!

Wonderful, strikes again. This time I can't cross the bridge. Right on late for my appointment.

Riding the 94 to Tigard? Yup - you have a 23 year old non-A/C bus too.

Riding 54 to Beaverton? Sorry you have to ride in a non-air conditioned bus today.

Forget trimet lol don't nobody need the max

It's got to be 100F on this bus I swear to god

FUCK YOU TRIMET, I gotta get home B

Thank you trimet for the max delays and also having 3 maxes not come. you truly made my day

paying my trimet ticket in full with 140 silver dollars because fuck you

OMG if you are having this many Max issues put out more busses. Waited almost an hour at a bus stop to get on a standing only bus.

Yikes, another messy day with TriMet. And I thought UTA in Salt Lake was bad!

you suck. Your machine ate two of my dollars. Service your shit if you're charging this much dammit  

Thanks again to for ruining my evening and making my 1.5 hour one way commute even longer.

the lack of announcements topside are kinda discouraging

, help me understand you when you say the words "power restored" and "trains not moving"? Should I plan on driving tomorrow?

Wow, we were less than 20 minute walk to the next station but instead we had to stay on the max for over an hour.

Now stranded MAX riders out in Beaverton. TriMet MAX has been nothing but fail today.

major delays.... How about a almost complete standstill with no hopes of returning to sevice anytime soon

extremely concerned with the rudeness of your employees in this stressful situation. what happened to the values of trimet? :/

That's alright trimet, didn't feel like going home tonight anyway.

thanks for leaving me stranded in the Washington Park in the tunnel for the last hour.. that bus bridge would be nice anytime

Stuck in an a/c less max for over an hour and have just been let off; come on trimet.

Maybe you should bill Trimet? I'd be interested in their response.

no train in either direction at Quatama for about an hour now...is this part of the blue line even running?

After an hour on a broken down MAX, I've never been so happy to be on a crowded bus.

trying to get to burnside and sw 20th gonna walk to catch 20 a few stops after BTC thx for the heads up

Should have brought my sleeping bag to work, looks like its going to be an all nighter

Dear I do not pay you $100 a month so I can hail a cab home.

High praise for Train 25's driver. He has consistently given us updates and has remained polite while dealing some cranky people.

I clocked out at 5:30 and I'm not even half way home. It's 7 o'clock, . Stop blowing it please.

Shout out to TriMet for completely fucking everything up tonight.

Eastbound MAX blue line is moving! driver thanked riders for patience and invited us to Thanksgiving dinner.

So, so glad I don't have to take the MAX to work now. 5 minute bus rides rule.

Why is it anytime I need to get somewhere on time is always late or having issues? Makes being carless frustrating

My wife just harangued me that I'd have been home long ago if only I'd pedaled in and not relied on the vagaries of transit

I'm on the 16 now but would have been on yours except for a delay at work. But for the grace of God...

At what point does start giving out refunds for terrible service lately?

IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE A MAN WANT TO GO INTO ALL CAPS MODE. TEAR IT DOWN! TEAR THE WHOLE SYSTEM DOWN!

you guys are the most useless mother fuckers

poor you.. good luck getting home!

and heading home ... failed today :-(

Seriously, today's clusterf**k proves how badly this organization needs better leadership.

Amidst all of this, 20 line bus takes 40 minutes to get from Beaverton TC to St. Vincent Providence.  

Our max operator made things bearable tonight with some wit. Still sat in the tunnel for a 20 min before going back to the zoo. Boo.

Somewhere, driving home in his nice car with AC, a Trimet board member is very pleased that his position is appointed and not elected.

Hey , maybe you should have saved all that money you put to personnel bonuses and spent it instead on preventive maintenance.

It's always the best when the bus just blows past a group of 7 people waiting at the stop.

Rough day for At least they have no clue what is going wrong, or have any idea on how to get us all home.

get your shit together! This is ridiculous.

Has admitted which employee made a wish on a monkey paw this morning?

ticket machine T765 out of service

Everything is breaking today.

Really starting to doubt the competence of Trimet management.

Well shit! I'm so very glad that today was not a "dealing with " day!! Sounds like it has been one mess after another all day long!

SO glad im not trying to get anywhere right now. Sorry for those who are. I'm also drunk. I hope you all are as well

hey if you are planning on riding the max today. Don't

30 minutes between trains during rush hour. This is pathetic.

This has been the best rush hour MAX ride home ever. The trains aren't crowded and this red line turned into a blue!

mechanical or malicious (sabotage) cause to MAX woes? Any hope for Steelbridge by Tuesday?

Trimet, lets get some AC on the streetcars, yeah?

What puzzles McFarlane could fill a large library. RT : . puzzled by worst MAX meltdown in memory.

Fire McFarlane now. RT : Mentally filing away for the next time someone tries to tell me that MAX should come to the Couve.

One good thing about this debacle, I'm pretty sure I'm sitting next to Iggy Pop on this shuttle.

I've learned two things so far today. 1) couldn't find their ass w/ a map & a compass. 2) Snark gets RTs. 

i realize there's delays with the max and all... But somebody just drove this bus here and then left it....

I wish i could tweet out the stench of this bus thats sitting in the sun, off and not leaving when its supposed to

THIS IS KARMA FOR FUCKING ME OVER DAY IN AND DAY OUT HAHAHAHA HA HA HA HAHA CUNTS

More max delays. Trimet is seriously killing my productivity today.

For only $100 a month you too can get h

And if people didn't feel like can't keep things maintained because they're mismanaging their resources.
