"The team that should be called onto the carpet are the road crew mgmt."

~~>This is where the failure is, road's are NOT PASSABLE!

"It's fine to cancel the yellow and red line, but then run extra trains on the blue line to make them come every 5 minutes. Otherwise every train is packed to the brim and I have to wait two trains before getting on."

~~>Very good points. Can't really argue against any of the issues brought up in this post.

"Look deep into the financials of mass transit. It's a constant plot to expand and raise fares with no regard for the general public."

~~>RIGHT, it's a massive conspiracy to bilk the tax payers out of their money, along the same lines as the conspiracy to make American's think that OSWALD killed Kennedy! GIMME A BREAK WILL YA?

"Lest we forget that Tri-Met is run by Metro and Metro answers to no one except the voters!!"

~~>Incorrect, TRIMET does not answer to the METRO, but to the state legislature and the governor

The freezing switch problems are the only real failure of TRIMET.
That problem was supposed to be solved during that last storm several years ago.
As we all can see it WAS NOT SOLVED.

Now the buses on the other hand, CANNOT GO OVER IMPASSABLE ROADS ANYMORE THAN CARS CAN!

THAT IS NOT A TRIMET FAILURE.

That is a road maintenance failure!

Now why don't the road crews make sure that the bus routes are passable before anything else?

SOMEBODY OUT THERE GOT AN ANSWER?
