A corporatist is running TriMet

Former Shell & Starbucks Exec Doug Kelsey's myopic focus "on time performance" as the Holy Grail of transit service provision while kicking the poors off MAX and ensuring there isn't a reliable N-S connection between 122nd & Gresham. pic.twitter.com/QQgr4eK5FB

TriMet reputation hits new low

TriMet has regulations regarding how long a rider has to produce their fares?

Just got kicked off the green line MAX at lents and foster road for taking to long to produce my paid for fare. Even though I had my paid fare in my hand they still removed me. The inspector attempted to ask me for my name and ID and I knew he had no right to ID or arrest me. pic.twitter.com/QQMlZYgtqr

The Reddit bus driver

enjoy. So things are looking up.

As far as driving for TriMet, it’s a great job. I make over $50K a year now. More than I’ve ever made. I’m contributing to my retirement and my health insurance is pretty great. I’m just overwhelmed by the feeling that I am good for this job, but the job isn’t good for me, but things will continue to get better. I’ll get a better choice of schedules going forward and I’ll keep getting raises every few months until I hit $30+ an hour.

Cindy Kassab all over mainstream media

I know Cindy, and I like Cindy, always have, but I’ve always had one giant problem with her. She loves TriMet *TOO MUCH* and has not once taken a stand against their anti worker policies, ever.  She’s 100% company woman
