I started paying close to the max scanner Saturday.
I gotta tell ya that the people involved with the light rail worked like dogs to keep that system moving. From controllers to operators, track maintainers, signal techs, they really did operate like professionals and gave it their best to keep things rolling.
While Trimet light rail made it through Saturday I knew it was going to be a massive fail before this was over.
The people doing the maintenance are working OUTSIDE in dangerous conditions running to put out one fire after another. Obviously they were not going to be able to keep doing this continuously without ending up with heat stroke.
As soon as the first real problem emerged, the pantograph broke, I knew it was pretty much over.
Not too long after that happened the entire system was shut down in yet another massive failure of government so see to the needs of its public.
The TriMet executive culture allowed a driver shortage to occur even with the cutbacks they made to bus service, which I consider a massive fail and should lead to the firing of all the top executives (but it won't because that's how this country rolls now) and all the money is being funneled into the crony capitalism capital projects department. This has been SOP at TriMet pretty much since Fred Hansen showed up. So now the public is abandoned yet again, when TriMet was most needed, again.
Just remember this failure has nothing to do with the people operating your system and everything to do with the executive management who has been ruining the Portland transit system for well over a decade now with their focus of pork barrel projects
And the biggest fail of all is managements not telling its riding public about the risk of getting stranded. I have seen this happen so many times I've lost count. The basically deceive the public into thinking everything will be fine and they know it won't. I consider this behavior criminal.
