It would just be a matter of fully accepting chip-enabled bank cards and phones (which TriMet's coming system is capable of) and getting as many businesses as possible to be willing to take payment and add it to a rider's account on behalf of TriMet.<br /><br />Also, people have said things used to be different and society demanded people give respect.Jason McHuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16755863891262666887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653698584448495601.post-1018248737704115052016-09-05T06:07:37.022-07:002016-09-05T06:07:37.022-07:00Oh ya and don't forget to click on one of the ...Oh ya and don't forget to click on one of the advertisers links.

These people are so afraid of offending the public, they have offended the public AND the very people who drive that public to work. And the $16k monthly? It could go to much better use, such as saving the retirees they're tossing under the bus.Deke N Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790077665266657804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1653698584448495601.post-61576665426961352452016-09-04T23:53:22.680-07:002016-09-04T23:53:22.680-07:00My first instinct is to spit fire at our managemen...My first instinct is to spit fire at our management in this forum as you have, but in a much more "colorful" way. I'd put up A THOUSAND BUCKS if my own, hard earned money if Mc FARTlane would drive ONE complete shift on a Line 4, 20 or 72. He'd never do it so I don't have to worry about losing my money. $17,500 A MONTH! That's how much he gets if he retired TOMORROW! WTF is wrong with that? If I get assaulted I pretty much just have to let it happen? They're trying to come up with ways to teach us how to "defuse" the situation? How about out the word out that the agency REALLY MEANS it that if you assault ANY TriMet employee, we WILL PROSECUTE you to the FULLEST extent of the law and then give your people some teeth. Stop this pansy-ass coddling of the violators. Don't consider lowering the fine for fare violators; have cops more readily available to back fare enforcement personnel so violators can't run. Show the district that we don't play games. Believe it or not, that's EXACTLY what the OVERWHELMING majority of our riders want! They want the B.S. to stop as much as we do! You NEVER hear CTran have these issues...because they don't play these games!! C'mon Neil! C'mon Harry! Your people should not be afraid that breathing in the wrong direction will get them fired! It's just the right way to treat your people. What's happening now is your getting your people who could have been considered "fiercely loyal" to the company; still union, but would bend over backwards to do whatever the company needed them to do on a moment's notice a,d be happy to do it, to people who do the bare minimum to skate by. People who are afraid to act or say a word because the chair will be pulled out from under them. People who now could care less about the company and its well being because they think the company could care less about them. They're here for a paycheck. Nothing more. You used to be able to be PROUD to work here. I KNOW I SURE IN THE HELL WAS. NO MORE. Oh, I still love my job. But the conditions I work under; the threat of vioence...the rampant lack of support and void of communication...and it SUPRISES YOU that NO ONE wants to re ruit people to work here anymore?<br /><br />The new guys don't see it...yet. Give them time. I refused to see it for longer than I should. I WAS one of those company people. I'd like to think I'm still salvageable. But this window dressing crap has to end NOW. You HAVE TO listen to those IN THE TRENCHES now. Stop trying to teach us more "how to talk nice to Eddie when he doesn't have fare" classes when it's Eddie's fault and make eddy be responsible for himself. Put out the PSA's you promised about holding the doors on MAX makes you late to work; assaulting a GriMey employee is a crime and YOU WILL be prosecuted; bump the reward up to 71st least $5000...come up with ONE FINAL DEFINITION of self defense that YOU, THE PPB AND LEGAL can all agree on and one YOUR EMPLOYEES can use that lets us reasonably defend ourselves, and be able to get help there FAST.<br /><br />MAKE THIS PLACE A TRUSTWORTHY, FUN PLACE TO WORK AGAIN. IT WILL MAKE YOUR JOB A HUNDRED TIMES EASIER...I PROMISE. WHADDAYA GOT TO LOSE?<br />(I enter this anonymously because I DON'T trust I won't get called in the carpet for speaking the truth.

It is a sorry state of affairs. Rudeness seems to be a way of life, along with always trying to find a way to cheat the system. What is so hard about being courteous?
