Well we have just completed Trimetgeddon XII when the light rail failed due to ice buildup on the wires. It's the same old story, nothing new here management doesn't take care of the problem and nobody holds them accountable.
Hundreds if not thousands of people suffered using the Portland transit system.
This apparently is acceptable to the thousands of people Who use public transportation in Portland and everywhere else.
Totally unreliable, totally unaccountable.
No news coverage, of course.
Nothing will change, MacFarlane will get a raise and will add a few more useless executives and The board of sock puppets will tell the world how wonderful Trimet is and how great the employees are.
The union employees performed heroically, as always, not their fault they are hobbled by insufficient resources.
I continue to maintain that public transportation doesn't have to be awful, it could be excellent if we the citizens can figure out a way to get rid of the "professional class" of technocrats that run it for their own benefit and for the benefit of special interests

.@trimet it was pretty sad to see you have to resort to telling Blazer game attendees to seek other forms of transport on the jumbotron— Reid Blomquist (@reidblomquist) February 4, 2017
@trimet One of your #20 buses reeks like piss and it looks like someone peed on it. I got off and caught the next one.— Jessica (@Whoregonian) February 4, 2017
@trimet Yeah, can you send help to our Max? We're stuck above I-205 trying to get to the @trailblazers game.— Cody Hylton (@PDX_Beav11) February 4, 2017
Every time I have somewhere to be after work, @trimet has issues with my train line. 😤#annoyed #TriMetFail— Sami (@Samileeroth) February 4, 2017
@trimet you need more shuttle buses during times like this so you don't have ppl waiting an hour between each bus— RaFaFaFaNu (@TheRaFaFaFaNu) February 4, 2017
Fuck Trimet do we have to play this game eveytime the weather gets shitty!?— Spread The Meh (@lopeznumba11) February 4, 2017
@trimet I'm also starting to think the red line shuttle isn't going to Mt hood ave max stop— RaFaFaFaNu (@TheRaFaFaFaNu) February 4, 2017
@crstofur we don't have a lot of westbound service right now, sorry. You might consider Line 77 or 12— TriMet (@trimet) February 4, 2017
I'm so disappointed in trimet rn.— ghoul (@highgabb) February 4, 2017
@trimet honestly don't get why the max ran fine during the blizzard and now it rains and the trains are stopped 😂😂— ghoul (@highgabb) February 4, 2017

@Hamoudishaer I’m hardened by years of trimet usage 💪— Chris Jackson (@chrisjackson14) February 4, 2017
Hey @trimet could you guys update your displays? Your alert is confusing.... pic.twitter.com/8g31aEVZkz— Deme Cooper (@demster101) February 4, 2017
Blazers just announced @TriMet recommend alternative transport. Uh. You are the alternative.— Paul Manson (@paulonabike) February 4, 2017
And they just announced that due to ice, Trimet would prefer you find alternate transportation home.— Casey Holdahl (@CHold) February 4, 2017

When @trimet asks you to take "alternative transportation" home from the Rose Garden 🤔 pic.twitter.com/TGiei5MOz5— Steve 911 (@Intersection911) February 4, 2017
Currently stranded in Portland because the trimet website can't show accurate times— plasmaboy xx (@plasmaboy_nik) February 4, 2017
@Intersection911 that probably would have been nice to know *before* people took Trimet to the game ...— Tara Goddard (@GoddardTara) February 4, 2017
#trimet The elevator at NE 60th MAX station is out of service.— unTriMet alerts (@unTriMetAlerts) February 4, 2017
TriMet like "Thanks for the millions, taxpayers. Y'all have fun finding a way home from the Blazer game." lololol— PETTY HARDAWAY (@SwooshMcDuck) February 4, 2017

@trimet So... Have you given up sending Blue/Red lines west? No train at Pioneer Courthouse Square since 5? #FigureItOut— Megan (@Pete_aar) February 4, 2017
@Pete_aar please know we give a reliable estimate when we can— TriMet (@trimet) February 4, 2017
@trimet any trains going to come through downtown going westbound tonight?— Laura (@thatlauragirl30) February 4, 2017
@trimet trains still backed up going west? No train at providence park in quite a while— Carol Raymond (@carolseven671) February 4, 2017
Been waiting in the cold for almost 40 min. No westbound @trimet max in sight... #FreezingRain #coldfingers— Amanda Keady (@niteangel1982) February 4, 2017
@trimet Any word on the train stuck at Gateway?— jasoncharlesfranklin (@JayChucksFrank) February 4, 2017
@trimet why isn't the MAX Red Line train heading west bound between Park Rose/Sumner and Cascade moving?— Charlie Tso (@charlie_tso) February 4, 2017
@trimet Is this opposite day? Am I in bizarro land? I can honestly say I've not experienced Trimet giving me a "reliable" estimate. Ever.— Megan (@Pete_aar) February 4, 2017
@trimet been waiting almost 30 min with no service alert what's up?— Chedda (@Jacobsmittyy) February 4, 2017
Green line where you at!! @trimet— $hawn Saysenesouk (@shzeee) February 4, 2017
@trimet with 6 maxes to gresham and 50+ people on the wb platform— Chedda (@Jacobsmittyy) February 4, 2017
@trimet @Jacobsmittyy if u mean that ur Max's keep breaking down every few stops is on their way, it's gonna be a long time. /1— gkopfer (@sundevils80) February 4, 2017
@trimet why vague? Is there a train west of downtown or not? I'll Uber if you say no.— Dave Nafie (@DaveNafie) February 4, 2017
@trimet @Jacobsmittyy Ive been stuck on a max over 20+mins n moved only a few blocks. Dont expect much from trimet except a generic response— gkopfer (@sundevils80) February 4, 2017
“@ann_marie_79: @trimet holy cow two maxes left downtown wayyy over packed ... :-/ what happened”— AL M (@AlYourPalster) February 4, 2017

Blue line to Hillsboro in 10 mins, or 3 mins, or 30 mins, or ..... bang up job @trimet— Danny (@Danny_es_gol) February 4, 2017
@trimet Stuck at k worth and interstate. No shuttles no trains. grrrr.— Jen from PDX ⭐️ (@jgkpdx) February 4, 2017
@trimet @ann_marie_79 there is no oversight on riders and rider safety. Over packing Max's is a HUGE SAFETY issue. /3— gkopfer (@sundevils80) February 4, 2017
@ann_marie_79 @trimet lucky for u. max was fine 4 me 2 until ppl started over flowing in. Cuz most of them had been waiting over 45 minutes— gkopfer (@sundevils80) February 4, 2017
@trimet when will red or blue line get to old town? Tracker isn't accurate.— Kelly Warren (@KellyW603) February 4, 2017
@trimet so are the red and blue lines from pioneer to sunset TC running at all?— Danny (@Danny_es_gol) February 4, 2017
@trimet why did a southbound train come thru Killingsworth as "out of service"? Last train was at least 15m ago and next is stuck at 16m.— Dan Sadowsky (@DanSadowsky) February 4, 2017
