Thank you Joseph. I put a few hours into this, and Bob put in a lot more effort and time than I did (and it was all his equipment), so it's great to know people are watching these videos.

FYI, the pictures with my name on them actually came from the TriMet archives. I just put them online. Also, I have documents that show TriMet has considered artics. I think the biggest issue was needing to remove parking and do other things to extend bus stops to doors further back.

Hello, David -

As I recall, very little was said about trolleybuses in the last interview (in July 2010). There was definitely no new information.

In our next interview (scheduled for Tuesday, March 15th), we'll try to include something about trolleybuses.

Are there any volunteers available to help transcribe the next video into text?

You might have to ask that when you post the videos. I doubt very many people will see this old thread.
