A corporatist is running TriMet
Former Shell & Starbucks Exec Doug Kelsey's myopic focus "on time performance" as the Holy Grail of transit service provision while kicking the poors off MAX and ensuring there isn't a reliable N-S connection between 122nd & Gresham. pic.twitter.com/QQgr4eK5FB

Just got kicked off the green line MAX at lents and foster road for taking to long to produce my paid for fare. Even though I had my paid fare in my hand they still removed me. The inspector attempted to ask me for my name and ID and I knew he had no right to ID or arrest me. pic.twitter.com/QQMlZYgtqr

The Reddit bus driver
enjoy. So things are looking up.
As far as driving for TriMet, it’s a great job. I make over $50K a year now. More than I’ve ever made. I’m contributing to my retirement and my health insurance is pretty great. I’m just overwhelmed by the feeling that I am good for this job, but the job isn’t good for me, but things will continue to get better. I’ll get a better choice of schedules going forward and I’ll keep getting raises every few months until I hit $30+ an hour.

Shut the technocrats down
Transit workers must immediately stop allowing themselves to booted around like beaten dogs. Management paints pictures that all is well in the world of transit operations when the exact opposite is the truth. Shut down the systems. We are beginning to see a worldwide revolt against the agents of the oligarchy (looking at you Kelsey you foreign assassin) and their abuse of working men/woman

Interesting how cities across the US have decided, seemingly overnight, that fare beating is a quality-of-life crime that must be tackled by local police, no expense spared. Timing (why now?) & the number of cities involved should raise questions. https://t.co/VYQTqsfN2b
