Took my #motorcycle across the metro area to an independent mechanic. The ride over there took 50 minutes. The trip home via transit took 3 hours and 45 minutes. Two separate transit systems, and 5 different busses. No wonder people don’t use #transit more. #TriMet #CTran

Oh great the MAX Red Line is being shut down for four months. I don’t use it but lots of people do. They’re extending the line and upgrading the station at the airport so it’ll be worth it eventually, but man what a hassle #PDX #TriMet #publictransit https://trimet.org/alerts/2023/index.htm

Something similar, with modestly sized #EInk displays started showing up in Portland #trimet stops a few years ago:

For the first 12 or 18 months, they were crisply and clearly displaying the schedule from days, weeks, or even months ago. Made me wonder what sort of networking they use.
Recently have finally started working more reliably though...
Unfortunately, many stops that do not yet have them no longer have a schedule or even stop number posted...
@Mrfunkedude It’s nothing earth-shattering, but I’ve ridden to each end of every #Trimet MAX Light Rail line except for the west end of the Blue Line (Hillsboro), and that’s my goal #today!
A few speakers went over the ridiculous 1 minute comment limit (was supposed to be 2-3) and #TriMet brought in security goons to scare the commenters out. Cutting our time short is a bullshit tactic that #Portland is using to intimidate the citizens and silence #democracy.
Absolutely packed the #TriMet board meeting demanding they #GoFareless in #PDX
1. Quickly figured out the answer to a random question about some balances that changed after period close.
2. It may have taken me 3 hrs 20 min to get home on the bus during tonight's snowstorm, but by gum, those #TriMet drivers got me home!
3. @peterdrake had a roaring fire in the fireplace waiting for me when I arrived.
Oh boy.

Things went from bad to worse on West Burnside. The power is out. No traffic lights!

And this line 12 bus is stuck in the rut.
