October's weird TriMet service alerts

NOTE: Many of these alerts were written by dispatchers who are not expected to be language experts, may not have time to proofread, and make mistakes like all humans.  They may have many other tasks in progress at the moment, such as dealing with buses that are already stuck due to the blockage or situations elsewhere.  While the errors probably should be forgiven, they can cause confusion or problems for those who try to follow them.

And yes, I'm weeks late in posting these. 

#35 A reminder for line 35 Operators the Halloween Event detour does not start until 4:00pm.

#57 UPDATE:Line 57 is detoured Eastbound: Regular route to TV & 153rd, right 153rd, left Milikan Way, right TV and regular route until further notice.

#88 Line 88 to Willow Creek: Regular route 198th and Alexander LT-Alexander RT-192nd RT-York LT-198th and regular route.
[all of the lefts and rights are the opposite of what they should be as buses to Willow Creek are heading north on 198th, and 192nd is to the east]

[then what?]

[130th doesn't go through from Harold to Foster]
