Trimet has publicized this as a way to "speed up" service. Anybody with any brains know that this is bullshit.
This is most likely a way to make sure people pay their fares
We don't get to know the secret meetings these unaccountable technocrats had regarding this issue but Lane Jensen talked to one of the road supervisors about it you can listen to that interview HERE.
This is one more step in making the transit system a living hell for riders as far as I am concerned.
It's bad enough that Trimet has their own Gestapo terrorizing riders on trains but kettling them in at two stops in Beaverton is unconscionable.
If they didn't want people to wait on the buses all they had to do is make that announcement and tell operators to keep the doors closed.
But No, they have to disguise this move as some sort of "improvement".
Mcfarlane recruited Doug Kelsey from Canada to finish what he started, dismembering the union and embedding the police state on Trimet for eternity.
For his efforts this fast talking car salesman Kelsey gets a fat paycheck and fat retirement when he goes back to Canada never to be heard of again.
Just like Mcfarlane who gets a $14,000/month pension and
Fred Hansen who gets a $17,000/month pension.
Meanwhile the citizens of the greater Portland area can suffer endless brutality under these people.
The bus drivers lose 2 minutes of their break time due to this change because now they have to pull their buses all the way around to a different stop than the one they are parked at to load their riders.
LOSE/LOSE
FOR RIDERS AND DRIVERS
Here is my Summary of what I observed this evening at Beaverton Transit Center after TriMet's illogical changes to how it functions (also this topic goes to about the 30-32 minute mark, then I begin a mini rant on their decisions lol) https://t.co/As3GP60byA
