Transit riders of Portlandia take to twitter to express their feelings about Portland's 'world famous' transit system (Known to the locals as THE TRIMESS )
And if you want to know what's REALLY going on at Trimet check out TRIMETSCANNER
I honestly legitimately want to know if it is really that complicated to display/fix the correct next stop on the max reader boards. #TriMet

Hey @trimet, having a MAX train ignore people standing at the station for at least 30 seconds before pulling away is not going to help.
