TRIMET OPERATORS














The first actual TRIMET BLOG, and one of my all time favorites.
A yahoo group.
Started by "Dee Baker"
Chris Parker is another notable member.
I am a regular contributor to this blog.

PORTLAND TRANSPORT

Portland's premier transit blog. Excellent moderators post interesting topics and enter into discussions continuously. Boasts one of the most active and literate memberships of any blog I've seen. Mostly allows free speech but various rules are applied in a somewhat haphazard manner which causes posts to be deleted by moderators, however they do provide the reason for the deletion. Tends to the technical and wordy but for transit issues this is the big daddy. One of my Portland favorites.

Bus Emergency

Bus Emergency is the #1 site anywhere on the internet for bus accident stories from all around the world.
Membership is international.
I am a regular contributor to this group and it is one of my favorite blogs.

TRIBUNE
The Tribune is a great paper but its blog can be a drag sometimes due to the heavy presence of the Rush Limbaugh crowd. I still like blogging over there.

JACK BOGDANSKI
This man knows how to find the stories, a must for any serious Portland Blogger.

EMS

Great blog from a TRIMET rail operator.
Great light rail stories with added stories of a personal nature.
She screens her posts!

TRANSIT SLEUTH

I don't think anybody is more informed about transit issues than ADRON HALL. When he writes an article on an issue you know that the research will be thorough and the writing articulate. Some of his stories just captivate my attention. Heavy rail is his specialty. A brilliant man. I keep track of everything he writes.

Oregon Live


Oregonian has great stories and I add my comments on stories of interest to me. Hard to have a decent discussion with other bloggers here. The literacy rate here is poor and lots of Rush Limbaugh types ruin any logical discussion.

http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/Home

Portland Mercury is far better than its reputation. Great local stories and a truly free speech blog, the only true free speech blog in Portland, which makes it one of my favorites just for that alone! Not for sexual prudes however. When attempting to post it is possible that an ad with a giant dildo can pop up on your screen. Very few Rush Limbaugh types can stand it here.

Bike Portland

I read this blog continuously though I don't usually post comments here. It's really a blog for bicyclists but they have all sorts of interesting stories that have to do with Portland too!

punkrawker4783 Does lots of great videos about buses and light rail. I recommend his YOUTUBE site.

TRIMETIQUETTE

Blog focusing on the etiquette riding Trimet.
Started by Christian.

Trimetconfidential

Trimet operator Dan Christianson, who was instrumental in the failed attempt to get that bike lane out of the middle of the rose quarter, is the man behind this blog. Into the personal "networks" available via sites such as twitter he has 10,000 followers. Writes some great stories about being a Trimet bus driver.

SUNSET BOB

SUNSET BOB

When it comes to humor, nobody does it like SUNSET BOB. A natural showman, one can never tell if his videos are fact or fiction.
He has transformed the Sunset Transit Center break room into a sacred place for TRIMET bus drives. However, he does hard hitting video's about life at TRIMET as well as his hillarious comedies. Don't miss his FRED HANSEN videos. Truly classics!

ROSS WREDE

Ross is a regular contributor to my blog and has his own blog where he posts stories that match his keen sense of wit and irony.

A great writer, I almost thought he was a trained newspaper reporter when I first started reading his stuff!
