i suspect their main goal is to destroy the government's capacity to do anything well, and funnel all our money to consultants.

Not sure what the case is like in Portland, but in Salem, people who are booked on a late northbound starlight are usually put on the. next northbound train or bus.

Data from Seattle, BTW

The median arrival delay for Cascades trains is 3 mins.
The average delay is 6 mins.
93% of trains arrived at their final destination within 30 mins.
82% arrived within 15 minutes.
While it's not 100%, I guarantee this is better than the "OTP" for car trips.

Anytime I talk about transit, people think I live in Portland. It's a big shock to them when they find out that people also ride the bus in places like Salem, Corvallis, Lincoln City, Bend, etc.

I still think we need to get past the idea that "transit is for rich white yuppies but also super criminals and only in the Portland metro". At best, people see it as an alternative because they don't understand what it can do (or already does) for their communities

would be cool if we could organize a statewide transit riders union. thinking of underrepresented places like hood river, Klamath falls, bend, the coast, and the rogue valley. not typically places people think of when they hear transit, but those places rely on STIF wayyyy more than the metro

not to be a debbie downer, but the reason legislators want to cut STIF is because they think it's something *only* Portlanders, or urbanites, or whatever, benefits from. It's a good study, but idk what it does to change the minds of the folks that are stuck in their ways of thinking
