This entire issue of operator assaults could be solved with one simple solution that doesn't involve the police state industrial complex, EFFECTIVE BUS DRIVER BARRIERS, like the one above, not the shit they are using now.

TRIMET FALSE PROPAGANDA
I guess they just forgot to mention that they cut bus service and failed the region

HOLLYWOOD TRANSIT CENTER GETS SOLD TO THE DEVELOPER WEASLES
There was a ton of public comment on this item against this, but as we know public comment is just window dressing, all decisions regarding the district are made by the owners of the district, the executive class along with the Portland elites
WHY HASN'T THIS MADE THE NEWS?
My uncle's body was found yesterday (Christmas day) on the frozen ground. He had dementia and no one saw to it that he got back on the Trimet Lift after his appointment on Thursday. He was missing and died alone, probably confused, and cold. Our hearts are broken and haunted.

TriMet management incompetence is breath taking
“Dispatch sent a message to all buses to go to North Terminal to get their chains off.

STREETSBLOG NAILS THE PROBLEM
But we (actual people) are saddled with a criminal ruling class that is robbing us blind and doing nothing to solve the actual problems
MBTA like TriMet has a labor "problem"
And the unions, inept and corrupted as they are, are doing nothing either
Another spitting incident
These attacks are getting more and more frequent

FAILURES IN TECHNOLOGY
Or "they" don't want to give us to much time to go over what they are doing, which is a distinct possibility
Oh TriMet why are you such shits and such failures in technology pic.twitter.com/Paoo1yYPfy

CORRECT
A transit expert is not someobody who studied transit through a mostly financial framework in college. A transit expert is someone who's dependant on it and has had to chase a bus in the rain, get kicked off or degraded for fare evasion or is dependant on it.

NOT EVERY TRANSIT AGENCY HAS FAILED AS BADLY AS TRIMET HAS
Metro continues to have daily bus cancellations due to staffing levels. We asked if this was going to lead to service reductions like other agencies. Metro tells us they won’t reduce service levels and is operating >99% of all scheduled trips on their all-day, frequent network. pic.twitter.com/OqXOmnT3TM

DON ILLER
Couple of thoughts on TriMet’s service reduction:
— Don Iler (@doniler) December 4, 2021
1. Drivers, myself included, are exhausted. Working the extra board the past few months has been miserable. Sure it’s a lot of cash, but it’s not healthy to work this much and the amount of hours has made me think about other jobs https://t.co/OX7QmBdNSH

The "problem" can be solved-It's the "leaders" who refuse to do it
Transit has to completely re-design this job
— Al M (@AlYourPalster) December 1, 2021
The model they are using is a failure
Go back to hiring FULL TIME operators out of the gate and put them at top wage!
Recruit people with a human services/social work background https://t.co/kU61cDBo6Z
Trimet is the biggest cheapskate of them all
Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro) in Austin, Texas, is offering a hiring bonus of $3,500 for some qualified candidates and has offered an agreement to the Amalgamated Transit Union

better than TriMet
In Denver, Colo., the Regional Transit District recognizes the compounded impact of the “Great Resignation” with the increase in ridership and is offering a $4,000 hiring bonus for bus operators

wow, makes TriMet look like cheap skates
