WES (Westside Express Service) Preview Ride

How cool!  I received an invitation (thanks TriMet!) to RSVP for a WES Preview Ride.  So it looks like I’ll be riding the WES later this week.  I’ll try to get some pictures (or even some video?) and a nice comprehensive post on how the experience went probably this coming weekend.
Anyone have any specifics they […]

New Site Relaunch

Pardon the dust!  You are now viewing the new TriMetiquette website.  This has actually been an ongoing project for a couple months and I’m glad to have everything up and running (and running relatively smoothly I may add!).

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 […]

Reason 3: all of us riders

Why does TriMetiquette have green signals all the way? Because riding public transportation shouldn’t be an exercise in frustration; it should be a pleasant ride.
Having been riding Portland public transportation all my life, I see instances where other rides such as myself ride with nice public transportation etiquette: we take the inside seat, leave the […]


Graphic designers wanted! Need new TriMetiquette logo

That’s right!  TriMetiquette is looking for any graphic designer or artsy-fartsy individual who wants to try to tackle a new TriMetiquette logo.  To put it simply, I was contacted by TriMet and was asked to not use their logo.  And seeing as how I’m Photoshop-impaired (though, I will say I am awesome at making obviously […]
