TriMet in Portland just raised fares and slashed more service....and now Community Transit in Snohomish County wants to raise fares, and the agency has no plans to restore its Sunday service.
What do they have in common? Well besides both having the highest paid GMs in the Northwest, many of their riders voice their dissatisfaction on their Facebook pages. See Community Transits & TriMets, fares & poor service seem to be a common theme.
The main difference is...Community Transit isn't building rail....so there should be bigger questions for Ms. Eleanor.
