Somebody needs to explain to me why they think they need a fare increase when there is OVER ONE BILLION DOLLARS IN THIER BUDGET that has nothing to do with operations.
The FY2023 Adopted Budget totals just over $1.93 billion and includes: Resources supporting FY2023 total $1.93 billion including $78.8 million in operating revenue, $470.1 million in tax revenues, and $164.5 million in Federal funding.
Day-to-day Operating Requirements of $748.9 million including $441.5 million to operate the system, $159.8 million in general and administrative costs, $84.5 million for other post-employment benefits (OPEB), and $63.1 million for debt service.

As we who follow the agency know that the transit division that supplies transit to citizens is barely functional these days and very unreliable. This isn't unique to TriMet is basically all of the larger transit agencies.
The career technocracy whines about the "operator shortage" but do nothing but offer a bonus to new hires. All current employees are excluded from this offer however, which is an insult to all the employees currently suffering through the job.
All the calls are listed and transcribed over there but we will still be posting the highlights on Twitter and this blog
#TriMet is run by a self serving technocracy that has no idea how much they end up hurting the public pic.twitter.com/dH0XwS9wwL

Just got my 10-year "pin". It's a mini drop of cheap metal with a miniscule ruby in the middle. No "10" anywhere on it. Kind of a letdown, really. As if 300,000 safe miles warrants nothing but a cheap trinket. https://t.co/fv57E1BE5Z

I'm getting tired of listening to the brutality that is today's TriMet so I won't be posting these calls for awhile.
But have no fear you can still listen to these calls by going to @REALPDXSCANNER on Twitter and scrolling through his feed

I've been talking about this since the day they started this so called "decriminalization" of Transit fares. I was the only one who pointed out that your 'evasion' is only 'decriminalized' if you follow the procedures laid out by TriMet.
If you don't do that you end up in jail, hence it was all just a public relations hoax which apparently has worked very well on the dumb ass public who falls for almost anything the government says.
Hell the public is so damn stupid they actually vote YES to increase their own taxes. Only a completely brainwashed person would actually do that yet we see people doing it.
Here is the story of one poor homeless woman who didn't pay her fare over and over and did not follow trimet procedures and ended up in an insane asylum for 183 days. The ORIGINAL STORY IS HERE.
UPDATE: MAX Blue Line disrupted near Milikan Way due to a collision between a train and a person. Shuttle buses will service stations between Elmonica/SW 170th Ave and Beaverton Transit Center. Expect delays.

for example we know that over 200 people have been using this routes and they will not be available anymore--I went through this with my riders back when they cut service on the west side-these people were forced to move and/or quit their jobs pic.twitter.com/i3CnhqMNvG
