And this was with a crew of help TriMet employees milling about being "helpful". Except they weren't "helping" over at the yellow line stop, where the yellow line became the red line heading for the airport instead of going to city center. Never mind the fact that the MAX train had the words "City Center" in yellow on the front of it. Somehow riders were supposed to intuit that the train was now the red line headed for the airport. Sort of like how riders are supposed to intuit whether or not the fare machine will be working that day, and plan accordingly. Maybe that can be their new slogan - "TRIMET - use your intuition!"

Maybe that can be their new slogan – “TRIMET – use your intuition!”

Just like the defenition of 'working' fare machines is, apparently, different between tri-met and its riders. I think a communications session is in order. You could all sit around and define words on a white board. Or, just submit to White Whine blog.
