my blog

This is my transit blog. Here I like to share photos, videos, and my opinion on transit issues. I tend to lean towards transit on the West Coast.

I grew up in San Diego California where I was surrounded by transit. Moved to Portland Oregon in 2001. In 2008 I started filming transit, under the YouTube name punkrawker4783, a name influenced by MXPX, and their song called Punk Rawk Show. Ever since, the name stuck. In 2009 I started this blog, the idea was to share photos and videos, but it grew into much more. In 2010 I started driving for King County Metro in Seattle Washington, and have moved there and enjoy the job very much. Much of my blog content has moved with me, but I still keep up with Portland, and the West Coast transit. My idea for this blog is to share info, editorials, and have a little fun. My other media is below, links that will take you to my videos and photos. I also have Twitter, where I post blurbs about my travels, and updates about the blog and videos.

I thank you for stopping by and reading, feel free to comment, the comment moderation is only there to screen out spam, although that has improved, thankfully.
