Proof that New Sign Programmer Doesn't Know Portland

BUT, TriMet is notorious for ineffectiveness when dealing with human errors and technical malfunctions. Now, I'm not talking about actually fixing the problem -- I'm talking about keeping people moving around it.
Whenever something breaks, the story used to go something like this:
   -1000am Problem occurs
   -1010am Sup announces that yes, we do have a problem
   -1017am Twitter announcement says there is a problem
   -1019am Someone says, Let's do a bus bridge
   -1029am Bus bridge in place
   -1030am Problem resolved; trains rolling

This like, how long did it take for them to realize the T1-3 Green & Yellow Line trains downtown were saying, "Transfer to blue and red line trains; transbordo los trenes de la línea verde y de la línea roja (green & red"?

ONE YEAR.

Meanwhile, the T4s had it right all along...
