Look at this picture of Mcfarlane!

Coincidentally seated nicely on a Trimet bus of course
With Tigard on the verge of amending its city charter to officially oppose light rail and other high-capacity public transit, TriMet General Manager Neil McFarlane said Wednesday that he was surprised by Ballot Measure 34-210's apparent victory.
With its growing population and congestion problems, TriMet leaders have never considered Washington County a stronghold of light-rail opposition. "A lot of the complaints that we've been hearing are about local bus service," said McFarlane, who once served as project control director for the 18-mile, $963 million Westside MAX project.
"We don't consider (the ballot measure) to be opposition to TriMet bus service," he said.

Did maintenance sanitize that seat for the photo-op?

Neil knocks down a straw man- "We don't consider (the ballot measure) to be opposition to TriMet bus service." Who was claiming that? That wasn't what the ballot measure was about. Tigarders would really like bus service to return to pre cut levels for starters.

Trimet likes to talk of a glorious transit future as they fail to provide an adequate transit present.
