The kind of bullshit Trimet bus drivers have to put up with

from Facebook, this is sick and the manager should be firEd. I'm sorry but this is sick

I wonder what everyone says when they need priority seating for a wheelchair. What do you say to the people sitting there? I received a sip from some dude in a chair saying I never asked the woman to move and blah blah blah. He said I needed to be trained again. So when I speak with my manager, his only concern was how I asked them to move. Usually I say something like can I get this seat for a person with a wheelchair? The manager said I was supposed to say something like anyone who is able to move may I have these seats or something. Seriously? I honestly don't have the time for a paragraph. I wasn't taught that. I was taught to ask and that you can't make someone move.

How do you ask?

Trimet Twitter blows it

 I read multiple transit agency Twitter feeds and I've never seen any of them make a comment to a citizen like Trimet did to Erik

The proper response to a disgruntled Citizen is something like "We are sorry we dissapoint you Erik please share your thoughts (hyperlink) and leave it alone. 

You DO NOT say what Trimet said

Don't end up like Portland

Trimet fail-again

Trimet is hiring

Henry Beasley on the continuing rash of Trimet assaults

From another forum:  Another female operator assaulted at GTC, assailant punched a female passenger and then the operator when she said something.

This makes 32 for the year and counting.

Tim Feaver-guest post by Jeff Asch

Tim Feaver, Max Operator. Passed away yesterday after battling cancer at age 68.

 You might say there are 2 types of people in this world: 

Those who talk the talk and Those who walk the walk. Tim was decidedly the latter. He 

Walked the walk as a man of faith, good conscience, kindness, strength, and a healthy sense of humor. He will truly be missed at Trimet by all those fortunate enough to have crossed his path, made his acquaintance, and enjoyed his friendship. R.I.P Tim.

I remember this
