Hey Portland Transport –
Love these videos, we’ll be showing them to our bus riders unite groups!
Thanks, glad people are finding the videos (at least somewhat) useful.
Thank you Joseph. I put a few hours into this, and Bob put in a lot more effort and time than I did (and it was all his equipment), so it’s great to know people are watching these videos.
FYI, the pictures with my name on them actually came from the TriMet archives. I just put them online. Also, I have documents that show TriMet has considered artics. I think the biggest issue was needing to remove parking and do other things to extend bus stops to doors further back.
PLEASE CONTACT ME BY JONAH4422@YAHOO.COM EMAIL ME, ASAP! I AM A DEAF THAT I NEED VIDEO FEATURES DOCUMENTS BECAUSE OF THAT I UNABLE TO HEAR FROM VIDEO FEATURES, I DO NOT KNOW IF INCLUDED ELECTRIC TROLLEYBUS OR ARTICS UPDATE, SO PLEASE JASON MCHUFF CONTACT ME IF HE CAN. LET ME KNOW PLEASE, WHAT DO TRIMET WITH ARTICS UPDATE?
Hello, David –
As I recall, very little was said about trolleybuses in the last interview (in July 2010). There was definitely no new information.
In our next interview (scheduled for Tuesday, March 15th), we’ll try to include something about trolleybuses.
Are there any volunteers available to help transcribe the next video into text?
