Well, it's a known fact that if I take my TriMet #12 Barbur Blvd. bus that it can take me anywhere from 25 to over 60 minutes (!!) to commute from my Far Southwest home to my work on the PSU campus.

So, under the logic implied by the start of this thread, I guess we should congratulate anyone that drives a car and saves time over TriMet. Each time that I drive my car to/from work, I find that my commute is between 15 and 20 minutes long.

Commissioner Sam, will you stand in front of my building and congratulate me???????

Of course not, because I'm don't subscribe to your SPECIAL INTERESTS. I thought Portland "belongs to all of us".
