At the same time,
along with this great video piece on rail operation that KATU did last year,
this nicely illustrates that if you think rail operators just sit there
all day and that operating a train must be easy since there’s no
steering involved (and to a similar extent, if you think that any idiot
could be a good professional bus driver because just about everyone over
the age of 18 knows how to drive),
YOU ARE WRONG. No,
you don’t need a college degree to do either of these jobs, but when you
take into consideration the skill involved to drive a bus or operate a
train safely with everything the world and the public throws at you
(sometimes literally, especially if you’re a bus driver!), the work is
far from “easy” and deserves respect – both from the public and from
some of the TriMet muckymucks who often downplay and lose sight of the
hard work that operators do.
