Any one of these bus drivers might run a red light today

And some of them might leave early from the end of the line. 

People that have not actually been a bus driver do not understand that it is human nature to start rushing when the bus you are driving is running late. And the later the bus gets the more the urge to speed up takes over.

 This is the fundamental flaw in the Trimet 'safety' program. Every single bus that is running late is a safety hazard due to human nature. Yet the powers that be completely ignore this very basic tenet of a safe operation. To intentionally defy human nature asking for disaster

 Do you think riders that have been waiting for a bus that is more than 10 minutes late will be happy? Absolutely not. 

 Rushing drivers/upset riders= operator stress which equals eventual disaster.

 There is no safety at Trimet, and that's a fact
