In Maui, bus drivers wear…
Hawaiian shirts of course!
While you can’t see a Maui Bus operator in there, that individual was wearing a hawaiian shirt. Kinda cool if you ask me.
Which got me thinking - if TriMet bus & MAX operators had another clothing uniform option, what could they wear that would symbolize Portland? A rain poncho? Maybe something with […]
Reason 2: taking dog in bag on bus gal
Why do I continue to manage and run TriMetiquette? It’s because of weird instances of breaking the rules like the taking her dog in a bag on the bus gal. I’m a fairly soft-spoken guy; I’m not one to be the center of attention nor do I typically speak up in rule-breaking instances such as […]
Reason 1: Fare Inspector checking-his-phone guy
Why does TriMetiquette keep on rolling? Because of instances like fare inspectors checking their cell phones instead of checking fares! We all know that look: the “*whistle* Just checking my phone, trying to look preoccupied…” Wait - none of you know that look…?
In any case, TriMetiquette was created for those looking for an outlet to […]
MAX Steel Bridge service interruption August 2 - 24
If you’re planning on taking the MAX in early August, this news is for you:
There’s going to be a MAX service interruption from August 2 to the 24 on the Steel Bridge. This effects all MAX lines: blue, red & yellow. During this time, riders will be shuttled from the Rose Quarter Transit Center to […]
Trimetiquette photo - TriMet training bus
What’s that sound of screeching metal? Oh, it’s just the training bus, rubbing a little too close to some parked cars! Think back to when you had to take Driver’s Education… and all you had was a little rinky-dinky “Student Driver” sign on the back of the car. At least you didn’t have a light-up […]
TriMetiquette photo - a cut-out TriMet bus toy
Feel like having a cut-out TriMet bus toy at home, at the office or even in the kitchen? Then print this image out, cut it out & fold it up! All you need is a little bit of tape and viola - you’ll have your very own TriMet paper bus. I have a couple of […]
TriMetiquette photo - TriMet tow truck towing a TriMet bus
Indeed, this is a picture of a TriMet tow truck towing a TriMet bus. Phew! I know - it’s like a “peter piper picked a peck of pickled peppers” situation.
Christian is going to be gone from July 13 - July 28 on a honeymoon. This post is part of a series looking at TriMetiquette’s Flickr […]
TriMetiquette photo - a metallic jungle
As I sat there on a nearly empty bus riding home after work, I thought to myself, “It’s almost like a metallic jungle in here!”
Definitely a whole heck of a lot of metal going on in the bus. Something I really didn’t notice until that evening I snapped this pic.
Christian is going to be gone […]
Going to be gone the next two weeks on a honeymoon
Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m going to be gone the next two weeks. I’m getting married on Sunday, July 13 and will be taking a honeymoon in Maui from then until July 28. While I’m gone, I have some posts scheduled up to showcase some of the images that are in the […]
Riding public transportation from Salmon Creek, WA to the Portland International Airport
I recently had a reader contact me asking me how to advise him to take public transportation from Salmon Creek, WA to the Portland International Airport. I’m not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to C-TRAN but I did take a stab at providing the best directions I thought were possible. Here was my […]
