Neal Berlin on TriMet light rail safety

 “They should have an incredible safety record,” Sturdy said. “The reason they don’t isn’t because of the operator, it’s because of the design.”

Yet ,TriMet thanks the heavens that they still have operators to blame. Going back to the major incident about 11 years ago of the MAX vs Hillsboro Fire truck. A complete by whitewash investigation by interested parties who had more than a dog in the fight for covering their rear ends due to incompetence. Unfortunately, to this very day this incident is mentioned in light rail training class with complete obsecration of the truth. This is just one incident of many that the responsibility of poor design decisions are put upon the shoulders of operators…the head has been guillotined with no qualms
