TRIMET ALWAYS ENJOYS BRAGGING ABOUT ITSELF

I think the cell phone application is great, no doubt about it. The more choices ways to pay your fare the better. There are some peripheral issues that most people wouldn't care about, like collusion etc that trouble me, but for the general public its a good thing. Trimet is doing all the support for this 'private company', all the advertising, etc. Those are questions of ethics but in Portlandia it seems this level of cronyism is acceptable.

THIS is the latest self congratulatory 'news release'.

@globesherpa @trimet Isn't #TriMet pretty much setting its own "records" with this? Seems misleading. Great technology, bad #propaganda
