Today's Ride on Trimet involved some fucking idiot shouting out "ASSHOLE, ASSHOLE!" and "LOOK AT THAT GIRL'S ASS!" Fuck you, too, #PDX.
— Moody Sunflower (@MoodySunflower) September 21, 2014

Amazed, and not in a good way, that @trimet closed 7th / Holladay MAX given its a transfer point for the other light rail.
— Sean Rea (@seanrea) September 21, 2014

@PortlandAudubon @trimet @PCMinPDX "trimet", "Sunday", and "see you soon" are not words that belong together!
— Spacey War (@warhev) September 21, 2014

Weird, the bus driver is making a lady remove the saddlebags from her bike before racking it. I've never seen a @trimet driver ask that.
— B. Zedan (@BZedan) September 21, 2014

@bgrmosaic isn't Sunday trimet service delightful?
— Adri (@PDXtrimetrider) September 21, 2014

— Dean West (@DeanWest4) September 21, 2014

And now I'm headed to PSU? I did not plan for the walking I will now have to do & am now late for a mtg I would have been at by now @trimet
— Tessara Dudley (@tdudleypdx) September 21, 2014

.@extramsg @Mayorpdx don't forget @trimet's inability to deal with events that have been going on for YEARS. some of us have to get to work.
— piper ewan (@piperewan) September 21, 2014

There's always strange ass people on trimet
— Parkerrr (@Parkw_) September 21, 2014

— papa swish (@OBIENEXTDOOR) September 21, 2014

I'm all ready having anxiety over attack on a friend of mine in a bus now another driver got attacked! I'm pissed
— Dan Christensen (@Dan_Christensen) September 20, 2014

Funny cause Rose City Transit Tracker just tells me the bus is 12 minutes late #TriMet pic.twitter.com/QeVFHzV7t4
— Adri (@PDXtrimetrider) September 20, 2014

@A4Transit Buses that are unreliable, crush load, and @trimet refuses to add capacity or improve stops or service.
— Erik H. (@sp_redelectric) September 23, 2014

@trimet Evening red line max from the airport has been late at least one evening a week for several weeks in a row now. No bueno, y'all.
— Angel J (@ajdoesitgooder) September 23, 2014

@trimet The bus driver on the 44 right now (bus ID 2516 I think) has the kindest, most positive energy.
— Alex (@AlexHorsey) September 21, 2014

If @trimet 's trip planner system were any less intuitive it would suggest time travel.
— Lysy (@chishionotenshi) September 22, 2014

Male that is exposing himself at the trimet platform is wearing pink vest and a blue miniskirt
— Wash Co Scanner (@WashCoScanner) September 22, 2014

@trimet is there is there no consistent schedule for the shuttle to south waterfront? This is really frustrating for riders
— Colleen (@LilDoctaC) September 22, 2014

I don't do trimet
— Miranda (@MirandaDesmond) September 22, 2014

@trimet now it says 13 minutes for another green line? So that'll be over half an hour I've been waiting.
— Josh Gardner (@JGx630x503) September 22, 2014

@trimet waiting at Lloyd center for a westbound train for 20 min. Seen 7 eastbound. Where are the trains?
— MelissaMelodyCrooky (@CrookyKat) September 22, 2014

Hey @trimet Surely there must be a way not to lose one's bus tickets when updating the iPhone OS? Since I have already paid for them?
— Cher Forsberg (@CherUF) September 22, 2014

Three dudes side sitting on the yellow line MAX counting their cash, wondering how long they can make the weekend last. #TriMet #Drugs
— Ron (@TelemachusRome) September 22, 2014

Dear @trimet, sometimes people like to get to work on time. Instruct your drivers not to pass waiters at the stop.
— Kristen M Gallagher (@kristenmaeve) September 22, 2014

Bus running late & my @trimet app used both the day trip tickets instead of just one. Great start to the day.
— Karen E. (@thagrrrl79) September 20, 2014

@Trimet Why don't you just tell the drivers the route? Give them a map or something. 2534 on line 19 has no clue. He's asking passengers.
— Ray T (@R1Ray) September 22, 2014

Hey, uhhh, @trimet. I just got your email about switching to iOS 8. About 4 days too late. Seriously? #pdxtraffic
— Ben McLeod (@bentonmcleod) September 23, 2014

@CastIrony Shit like this is why I remain incredibly skeptical of digital ticketing for mass transit. Too easy to screw up big time.
— teapot. (@asmallteapot) September 24, 2014

Are outside contractors allowed to close @trimet stops with zero advance notice? Or was it just not communicated? pic.twitter.com/xmWpKqNSPX
— J-Bop (@graphicsdad) September 24, 2014

@trimet pretty shady guys! You wait a WEEK after iOS update to inform us we lost our tickets. Enjoy all that free cash guise @Oregonian
— Derek Gannon (@M1k351x) September 24, 2014

@reggieaqui @thesquare 100% agree. @trimet is irresponsible and incompetent. They should be refunded for lost passes (@globesherpa)
— Jeff Katz (@katzpdx) September 24, 2014

The bus has been "coming in 3 minutes" for the past 8 minutes. Get your shit together Trimet
— pablita (@ceciliame17) September 24, 2014

@Trimet your "notification" of OS8 issues w/app is a bit shady. So all the $$ customers lost, because "we warned you" is totally lost. #FAIL
— Miss Nemmesis (@MissNemmesis) September 24, 2014

Trimet is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.
— Austin Sullivan (@atsulli2) September 24, 2014

@hyphy_republic Here, PSU & TriMet have become land developers, too. Their actual missions, teaching and transit, are obvious casualties.
— cocktailhag (@cocktailhag) September 23, 2014

Good thing I bought my TriMet Flex pass today because my TriMet app decided to stop working
— Madeline Edwards (@medrose9) September 23, 2014

Thanks for eating my money trimet ticket machine, what an asshole. No wonder people steal rides.
— Samir Barrett (@sktchmstrskllz) September 23, 2014

@trimet. So should I send you the bill? 17th ave max line contruction has taken 4 tires on my new 2013. Metal, holes, plates etc #screwed
— James Carr (@Raz_Angler) September 23, 2014

@BZedan Except for like Chicago, LA and NYC, where there is actual public transit.
— Dave Feucht (@poetas) September 23, 2014

Thank You trimet mire convenient than a rectum exam
— Dean West (@DeanWest4) September 23, 2014

. @trimet excellent job of stranding passengers w/o info and busses east of rose quarter. Thanks for making my 60 minute ride into 3hrs...
— Leslie (@Kreative) September 23, 2014

Stuck on a train at RQ. #trimet
— Janaki Anne (@janakianne) September 23, 2014

Thanks, Trimet, I didn't want to be on time for my first class of the term anyway.
— Steve Krasinski (@Vash10) September 23, 2014

Relying on trimet to get you somewhere on time is a joke really
— medusa (@Annam1_) September 23, 2014

She is also convinced that the driver is lying to her about when the last bus possible for her to take on this route is. #TriMet
— Adri (@PDXtrimetrider) September 23, 2014

It's like a police state at the #TriMet stop this morning
— Jon Cellini (@JonathanCellini) September 23, 2014

Normal #Trimet. It's 6:25am and the 6:30am MAX Blue line is due in 20 min according to the tracking
— Mike Rigsby (@mikerigsby) September 23, 2014

@trimet I love getting stuck behind you commuting. 47 min to go 11 blocks is the bee's kneecaps
— Chris Clark (@chrisclarkpdx) September 23, 2014

Thanks @trimet for making me late to work :(
— Laura (@laurabububun) September 23, 2014

Dear @trimet 71 line, if your 7:40a bus arrived at 7:37 why does the 8:00 bus arrive at 8:06? Now my kids are 26 mins late. #HowDoesTimeEven
— Troy Howard (@thoward37) September 23, 2014

@trimet why are West-bound red&blue MAX so slow this morning?
— Justin Redd (@justinredd) September 23, 2014

Why do trimet buses always have to smell like shit
— ɐ (@abortingbabys) September 27, 2014

Well it's been a year and the trimet ticketing app suck down my battery faster than a high class hooker. Seriously your app sucks
— Spencer Clark (@lethalcupcake) September 27, 2014

@trimet your app isn't working. Haven't been able to purchase tix in a few days. help.
— kathleen mazzocco (@kmazz) September 27, 2014

@Trimet and a driver couldn't let on a third bike, close to midnight with an empty bus? @trimetscanner pic.twitter.com/mGUSqrYFQD
— Jason Lopez (@PDeXist) September 27, 2014

This @trimet driver is exceptional. I hope to see her more on the 77 line.
— moolu; (@EternalSinger) September 27, 2014

@trimet f@#king B driver for max saw us running for the max.We got right to the door and closed the door!
— Bernie (@Bernie5506) September 27, 2014

Driver on #4 bus 3148 is INSANE!!!! Awesome training @trimet . Glad I'm alive!!!!
— Trivia Zannah (@WhereIsZannah) September 27, 2014

@globesherpa I activated one #TriMet ticket, yet both my tickets I had bought were activated. How do I get a refund? pic.twitter.com/03H3z1Vvka
— Dave (@somedave) September 27, 2014

Holy shit trimet guys are fucking dicks
— tori (@blacktarheroine) September 27, 2014

Just watched an altercation that nearly became a fistfight on the 72 bus. Riding Trimet is a lot of things, but one thing it's not is dull.
— Mac the Fox (@MacTheFox) September 27, 2014

STUPID TRIMET DRIVERS
— chasten (@ChastenPeralta) September 26, 2014

@trimet PLEASE TRAIN YOUR BUS DRIVERS TO BE BETTER HUMAN BEINGS! #veryrude
— hellovivi (@hellovivi) September 26, 2014

Well @trimet, you did it again! I met the same driver on bus no 15 who was giving me a very hard and didn't know how to do math! 3033 3:49pm
— hellovivi (@hellovivi) September 26, 2014

I love how transferring to #trimet line 17 is impossible. pic.twitter.com/zleCa6wpNF
— Lane Jensen (@lanejensenpdx) September 26, 2014

#BackToBusCommuting bemoaning the loss of #culture via #poetry for #selfpromotion and #advertising @trimet.
— Michelle Lasley (@michellelasley) September 26, 2014

@trimet I've never heard a driver ask a dog owner. But y'all harrassed my actually trained cat so much that he won:t do transit. Good job.
— Kassiane (@UVGKassi) September 26, 2014

@AlYourPalster freaking 33 stops at every block. I could damn near walk to Oregon City faster. I wish 99 ran later.

TriMet sucks a bag of dicks!
— Joshua Silva (@jashuasilva) September 26, 2014

The 58 hasn't come in over and hour. 3 busses should have come and gone by now. What's going on??? @trimet
— Sperg (@Bergerboy76) September 26, 2014

Bus sure looked fine as it left us all behind... Shouldn't there have been a replacement well before that? Not cool @trimet
— librarygrrl (@librarygrrl) September 26, 2014

And now the 93 driver (since stop was closed and I couldn't get to the 94) is taking an unscheduled 10 minute break. Awesome, @trimet. #2120
— librarygrrl (@librarygrrl) September 26, 2014

How I HATE riding Trimet 😷
— Cynthia.♡ (@Ceece_bby) September 26, 2014

I question your time estimates @trimet when a bus is "3 minutes" away for the last 15 minutes.
— Kyle Simukka (@simook) September 26, 2014

@trimet All the buzz? A dog was viscously attacked. That's not 'buzz.' You make it sound so trite.
— Dan Fellini (@DanFellini) September 25, 2014

Nothing quite like a 30 min late bus to end the day. Hope I get home tonight. #Trimet
— Mike Rigsby (@mikerigsby) September 26, 2014

@trimet what the hell is going on in Beaverton. A 30 min late 54 into Portland is even worse than normal. #Trimet
— Mike Rigsby (@mikerigsby) September 26, 2014

I FCKING hate trimet. And all these people on it.
— HANK. (@hanachase) September 25, 2014

— AL M (@AlYourPalster) September 25, 2014

As much as I love driving a city bus waiting for one drives me BONKERS! No wonder people are so grumpy when they board
— Dan Christensen (@Dan_Christensen) September 25, 2014

Max/Trimet parking is a fucking joke and I'm now gonna be half hour late. ALL I WANTED WAS FOOD WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME
— ☀️sorbet head☀️ (@queerxscum) September 25, 2014

Man, it would be really cool if @trimet actually had a cheesesteak bus. pic.twitter.com/n59Xx6fc6B
— Aaron Mesh (@AaronMesh) September 25, 2014

@trimet why do some of the newer buses beep whenever they have a turn signal on? It drives me batty as a passenger.
— Matt Glazewski (@sentencesrunon) September 25, 2014

Ah, man, this #trimet bus smells like pee.
— Wolf Linderman (@beerguypdx) September 25, 2014

I HATE TRIMET
