Young Professionals Leading the Public Transport Revolution | Portland, OR

[@Outlier-db8sq]

YES! Thank you for sharing such a positive and PRODUCTIVE view of our brilliant citizens. Really inspiring and a nice change of taste in the algorithims. I am 21 and just really resonated with seeing young people making a living, but most importantly doing so doing something they are passionate about. I want this to be me someday

[@MillionStoriesMedia]

With this mindset, you’re on the right track! Thanks so much for watching and sharing your insight. We’re rooting for you!

Public transportation provides a special freedom for the young, disabled, poor ect. X TRIMET DRIVER

[@marcamorello2803]

This is so cool to see. I also work on the Transportation industry and all I want is a future where people have options to live in ways that aren’t defined by the necessity of a car for all their mobility needs.

[@MillionStoriesMedia]

Thanks for watching! Which area of the transportation industry do you work in? 🚘

As a safe streets, active + shared mobility advocate focused on storytelling media relations coaching this lifts my heart. Thank you. The bright, talented people featured, and that they're all in transportation. Keep up the great work.

[@MillionStoriesMedia]

Thank you for watching, and big thanks for your service as a safe streets advocate! Out of curiosity, what city are you based in?

[@pedallovecommunications]

@@MillionStoriesMedia I'm located just outside of Poulsbo WA (on the Kitsap Peninsula) but I work with/coach advocates all over the U.S. Alas, I'm not a millennial, but I certainly work with many of them. Let me know if you ever need ideas for stories about active mobility non profit peeps.

[@MillionStoriesMedia]

So cool! Thanks for taking the time to respond; we appreciate you! 😊

Yes if government is going to allow the stripping of funds from people who cannot afford it and have fines on top of that the least they can do is have a means for the poor cash cows to get to the utilities and other places where they are further striped of monetary funds so that in court there are no exceptions.

I live in Portland for 48 years. How about you make it so cars can still use the pothole laden roads and quit making bike paths that are constantly EMPTY. You're so full of yourself, you're doing nothing.

[@BradYouAreAwesome]

Okay but quit taking lanes away for bike and bus only lanes. I’ve lived here all my life, the infrastructure for biking and buses is already really freaking good. You’re just making the traffic worse

Not gonna watch this shit video, but if people in Portland are doing something, then I’m not gonna do it.

[@jackstoltz1379]

You know if you try to articulate your views with them in a coherent positive manor that doesn't make them tune you and others out. You might be able to get through a few nuggets of different views that can change there perspectives.

[@BoomBamBronson]

@@jackstoltz1379 Your average person in Portland thinks it is acceptable to allow a child to consent to life altering surgery and hormone replacement. Nothing to learn from them.

[@socal_noah]

booooooooooooooooo

[@kattycat3502]

😂 Can't run in the snow. Cost Billions. Public transportation is a total dirty joke.

[@norahjaneeast5450]

I have to call BS on this people who work for the city of Portland almost never take public transportation because they don't want to get hurt it's dangerous on public transportation so of course you're going to show these people on trains I bet you other than this okay they went downtown for Rose Festival certainly that makes sense but people who work for pdot do not ride TriMet buses and all those riders like none of them looked deranged that's not the experience of writing TriMet a little bit better on the buses very dangerous on the trains which ironically they want to expand fewer people are taking the bus or the train but don't worry they're working for equity so that we all have to walk of course like Animal Farm some animals are more equal than others they get to keep driving their government Priuses Jane you're just bitter because you don't have a job where you get a government supplied Prius

[@TheGuerillapatriot]

What a waste

[@ronmartin1375]

No. Never going to happen.

[@F40PH-2CAT]

Buy a fucking car 😂😂😂

As long as Capitalism keeps creating a homeless, mental health, and addiction crisis, public transportation will be a dangerous option shunned by the general population. Using Public transportation is risky behaviour.

[@jackstoltz1379]

... I'd like to understand why you blame those things on capitalism... Honestly I do. I'm a capitalist. I don't own a business my self but I believe my work is my business. And I think everyone should be able to work as hard as they want to get paid equal to the work they put out. From my perspective homelessness is created from the lack to want to do for ones self or mental illness in general due to birth defects, trauma growing up or drug addiction. And then of course there are those that choose to be homeless.... Mental health fall under the same kind of root causes I feel. And addiction is usually the out come of trauma or bad choices starting young being escalated later in life. Then of course we have music movies and media pushing thoughts and ideas in positive ways that glorify certain pathways in life that have negative consequences that end up stacking onto of each other over decades effecting that person negatively yet were sold to them as Kool or rebellious to the system. But those individuals are the ones that hurt from there own choices to follow that path. So to me it's hard to understand what you mean by capitalism. I feel as if the left leadership pushes and finances those stimulates across the air waves. Weather it's making drugs legal, prostitution. Rap music. Bad movies that glorify bad people and education systems that don't actually prepare children for life but rather indoctrinate them to think certain ways. I feel like both you and I see things from a different side and perspective. And millions just like the two of us see things in those same ways as well on both sides. It seems like both sides rather then finding common ground and getting to the actual healthy ways in life are told to hate each other and not talk to one another. That we should place blame to this or that like we do. Yet we have been told to do that towards that our whole lives without knowing our thoughts are not our own. Left hate right. Right hates left. Yet the enemy is always this group separate from people we know around us. We get along with the leftist neighbors or the right wing coach of our child's sports team. I'm thinking the citizens need to stop listening to all the talking heads presented to us and actually to each other and work together to get anywhere positive. Because if not then we are little more then unfocused groups of people looking this and that way for someone to tell us what to think or what to do next and we just give our taxes away to be wasted or disappeared into someone's pocket. We fight while they profit off our work like a plantation of tax revenue. Love you by the way

[@jankoleon3785]

Ah yes, just straight-up blaming capitalism for all the world's problems rather then taking personal responsibility for them.

[@mindlightwave]

That's like saying as long as humans keep creating more humans there will be bad people. When we finally stop reproducing, there will be no more bad people.

[@RCenal]

It's not capitalism that's creating homeless I will continue to drive my car Because people are nasty and I don't really want to be near them especially in an enclosed space

[@patricksullivan7140]

Spoken like a true Communist 😂

[@davestephens1993]

Never, ever, allow anyone any entity. Any government. Any city tell you what you can or can I drive or where you will or will not drive? Wake up americans!!!!!!!
