In recent weeks, Portland residents living along bus routes have
repeatedly called Oregon’s largest transit agency to complain about the
audible warning systems misfiring at all hours.
When the buses turn, a woman’s voice declares, “Pedestrians, the bus is turning.” The warning sounds twice.
“It
sounds like a woman yelling in the street every time one of the buses
with this technology goes by,” said Dave Anderson, who lives where the
No. 75 follows Portland’s windy Northeast Wistaria Drive.
The Federal Transit Administration gave TriMet a $400,000 grant to test emerging pedestrian-alert technologies on the streets of Portland.
