Even MAX operators need to ‘go’

Hey, you didn’t know?  MAX operators need to go to the bathroom too!  But when they’re transporting us from Gresham to Beaverton or Beaverton to Gresham (or anywhere in between), when are they able to go to the bathroom?

Well, a TriMet light rail operator has an interesting story about her most recent journey of having to hold it in.  And I gotta say, it’s a pretty funny story.  And honestly, not something I really thought of before… at work, I have the luxury to go ‘relieve’ when I feel the need to.  When you’re commandeering a light rail train… that’s a different story.

Anyway, too funny and definitely a blog I’ll be keeping an eye out on.  She has a nice writing narrative and, judging by how much I enjoyed a story about her putting her bladder “to the ultimate test”, I’ll probably enjoy more of her stories.

Hi,

Keep this up - as a light rail operator, I have seen the impact of people helping us clean things up on Max. Even though I am new as a Max operator - six months - I have seen enough that I have also written about on my blog. Go to my labels on the left side of my blog and click on “security”. I have written extensively about security on Max and buses here in Portland.

Thank you for reading my blog - come back soon!
