According to a Tri-Met spokesperson, those buttons are pushed ALL THE TIME for no real reason and when the driver saw the child with a woman outside (whom he assumed the mother), he didn't see any need to open the door. Two understandable points, but they warrant the question: what in the hell is the emergency button for if the driver doesn't pay attention to it if things "look" okay? Frustrating for sure, and that video gives me chills every time. I love when the dad comes back on the next train and gives the woman a big hug.

What?! Too bad since he had been with Tri-Met for many years. I can hardly look at the stroller video because I swear I stop breathing.MissMVKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454986676679634784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20459118.post-5576710758854713822009-11-30T08:12:56.849-08:002009-11-30T08:12:56.849-08:00Additional note.
