Hispanics are wholly under represented in Trimet politics. They make up a huge % of riders, especially on the West Side, yet they are never heard from. From my point of view as a driver for 15 years the Hispanics were among the best behaving of riders. I only had once incident in 15 years with a Spanish speaking rider. I was actually somewhat afraid he was gonna haul off and punch me he couldnt speak English and was on the wrong bus and was demanding I turn around. He was completely drunk out of his mind. This was the only time I tried to call the police in 15 years, dispatch never called me back and he just settled down.
