DEAR MR KELSEY

 


Dear Mr. Kelsey,

 

I would love for this to be a ‘congratulations’ for a well deserved retirement. Unfortunately, with how COVID has been handled at this agency, especially regarding Operators…. I cannot.

TRIMET’S ZOMBIE LIGHT RAIL PROJECT

 President Trump is not the only one refusing to accept election results. The general manager of TriMet, Doug Kelsey, is claiming that the $3 billion Tigard light rail project is still alive, even though Portland-area voters rejected a proposed funding measure by a wide margin last month.

BYE BYE KELSEY


 Kelsey, Mcfarlane's handpicked successor ,is heading back to Canada. He was basically a Mcfarlane clone. From my point of view he was nothing. He did nothing of consequence to bother mentioning.

Trimet head hack Bruce Warner said this to mainstream media:

TRIMET SCANNER DECEMBER 16

 

THE TRIMET SCANNER WILL BE GOING DOWN TEMPORARILY. 

IT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME HOW LONG THIS DISRUPTION WILL BE. 

ALL THE CALLS CURRENTLY POSTED WILL NOT PLAY UNTIL ITS BACK ON LINE

TriMet public records requests

 TriMet public records requests

Anytime I do a request I go through them. In this case I did a request to get them to post their board meeting which is supposed to be up in 72 hours according to their own web site

TRIMET DEKE

 


Long ago in this blog, I outlined some Operator Math. Each 10-hour shift, a bus operator will press the air-brake pedal of a bus an average of 800 times. It's a repetitive motion which requires several times more pressure than doing so in a personal vehicle. Worker's Comp often insists our pain stems from "past injury" to management's fiscal delight. To our collective plight, it's pain built up from about 175,000  constant presses of the right foot. A human part that sees more work than any joint of a mouse-pusher's body who oversees our work.

"They find a lot of mistakes in the manual they have never experienced behind the wheel," an operator said to me this week. "Their idea of a 'mistake' is something we see as a necessary tool, to offset the reality that could happen if we don't do it."
