Meanwhile on the Trimet

Lots and lots of incidents occur daily on the Portland transit system. None of them get reported in mainstream media. Actually there has been very little real 'reporting' on Trimet anyway and since the departure of Joe Rose there is zero reporting on Trimet issues. All the public gets is repacked Trimet news releases. 

These are a handful of the many incidents, you need to keep track of my twitter feed to see everything. I'm not able to keep this blog up like I used to do.

@trimet the thing about getting off at 5am is there isn't a bus for another hour out here by 35th & Guam.
