TriMet in Extraordinary Measures

Posted by Christian in TriMet on Jan 23rd, 2010 | 3 comments

Watched the movie Extraordinary Measures last night. As many of you probably know, this was the movie starring Brendan Fraiser and Harrison Ford that was partially filmed in Portland.

There are a couple of shots of TriMet transportation. The one thing I noticed during a scene Brendan Fraiser where was riding the MAX was all much TriMetiquette the other riders were displaying! Brendan was at a middle pole, hanging on, with the train being partially full; everyone was minding their own business, displaying good public transportation riding etiquette.

In any case, thought it was kind of fun to see. Is it only in the movies that riders of TriMet show good riding etiquette? :D

    I remember when they were filming that :D I know the two operators who were moving that train back and forth.. I kind of wonder if they would be in the movie credits for it.

    But all those riders were actually selected extras and not random people, so that might have something to do with it :)

    As much as I would like to see TriMet in a movie, that movie looks waaaaaay too awful to spend money on!
