TriMet is a public transportation service in Portland, Gresham & Beaverton, Oregon. TriMet is the provider of buses, MAX (Metropolitan Area Express) Light Rail & the Portland Streetcar. TriMet is planning on expanding their services to include WES Commuter Rail - a light rail train services between Beaverton & Wilsonville - in the Fall of 2008.
Etiquette is defined as being “rules governing socially acceptable behavior.”
TriMet etiquette… TriMetiquette.
So what is TriMetiquette? I guess you could define it as being, “Rules governing socially acceptable behaivor on TriMet.” As a daily rider of TriMet, I see things on the MAX or on the bus that simply aren’t acceptable; they may not be stated on the rules for service, but in a social setting they shouldn’t be practiced.
This blog is designed to provide some clarity as to what kind of etiquette should be followed on TriMet. Whether it’s during the “standing-room-only” rush hours or late at night, stepping on any TriMet service doesn’t mean acceptable social behavior can be thrown out the door; there’s special TriMetiquette that should be followed.
