How many times will something have to happen before light-rail supporters admit that MAX is not as reliable as they say it is?
On May 6, MAX power lines went out at 5:30 a.m. and more than 12 hours later, they were still not all on line and running, with limited information as to what happened.
It seems to me, the more you look at MAX, the more you can find wrong with it: cracked tracks, doors that won’t close, more than one power outage in less than a week, when it’s too hot there’s track swelling, when it’s too cold there are icy power lines. Not to mention the operators unions wanting more pay (thus increasing your fees), pedestrians and vehicles getting hit, parents and kids being separated, crime, and the list goes on.
Tell it to all your bosses why you are late. Many places will accept no excuses.
