Twitter / Nathan Garvison: Air conditioning on the MAX. It's warmer outside. Thanks, Trimet. You make me appreciate my wool coat. :/

Twitter / gazellesoncrack: just got a call from @trimet re: a NYE complaint I made (a MAX just didn't show). Can't believe they called- I am impressed.
Twitter / Joseph Manley: Thank you Trimet for making me late to my first class of the term. Its ok, I forgive you. Every relationship has its ups and downs.

Twitter / Reid Parham: The busses that don't smell like piss will smell like weed #trimet
