Creeps & Weirdos: GM Ad Against Transit

GM took billions from the American public to stay afloat but take a look at this ad they ran from years ago.  Creeps and weirdos?  I use and support public transportation and although I do not consider myself to be a creep I would admit to being a bit of a weirdo.  Bottom line, this is what corporations think about average citizens even if they do buy GM vehicles.

 

 

Day 193: The Commute

This is what morning looks like.  Rolling towards Hillsboro on the westbound MAX.  Everyone is happy and optimistic because they are headed towards another day.  And riding public transportation helps keep another vehicle off the road which goes towards improving the environment.  Yes, the commute is all about positive action.

Day 139: Fareless Commute

I am posting on the westbound MAX and I have not paid my fare to ride. I am a criminal but also a victim. A victim of poor maintenance and dated technology.

Day 89: Oregon, MAX and the Rain

If it’s March and it’s Oregon it must mean, (gasp!) rain.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the rain and I love Oregon but this entire week has been hellish at work so when I ended up staying late tonight I was not entirely pleased to find myself standing in the rain getting soaked.  But it is what it is.  If nothing else, I have another photograph to add to my collection.  Fellow Oregonians, remember, summer is a mere 4 months away.  Maybe.
