Very interesting meeting Karen. Rather regret not tagging along now. I too definitely think they need a blogging policy inhouse. Of course, they’ve got their own long term tech plans – it’ll be history that judges whether their course of action was the right one for the right time.

Good to know they are working with Trimet and opening up their info.

Now if only they could fix their horrid communications outside of TV and The Buzzer.

Ok, I have to admit that Cam from Translink (don’t know him, just read his comment) has definitely a sense of humor

I think (this has been my experience in Canada, and in Vancouver, at least) that when organizations and/or institutions are blogged about, they tend to be receptive (of course, sometimes corporate readers of Stephen Rees might not agree with him, but …)

I think your post is very respectful, and I also applaud you for bringing out some of the voices of the THOUSANDS of dis-satisfied, disgruntled, unhappy and otherwise upset PAYING customers of Translink.

Dialogues have to be started, and you just did that. Now, the ball is on Translink’s court. Congrats on a fine job.

Excellent post Karen. I look forward to the start of a new dialogue. I’ll see what I can do about holding off the black list
