This is about your fare inspector Larry Boltjes, Employee number 1459. I arrived at NE 82nd Avenue MAX at 8:53pm on February 18, 2013. I was on MAX train number 52. I decided to go this route to get home in Fairview because I did not want to wait the 30 minutes at Parkrose Transit Center for the Line 21. I did not feel safe at the bus platform for my Line 77 bus (Train 05). I waited on the platform with the supervisors where I knew it was safe. at 9:08pm I was approached by Larry Boltjes and asked for fare. video is here: http://portlandtransitlane.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/trimet-exclusion-mania/
I am requesting a response to this email by Friday, February 22nd by the end of business. I am also requesting that this exclusion be dropped and a written apology from Mr. Boltjes for conduct unbecoming of a transit official. I request that this letter be e-mailed to me by Wednesday, March 6th (10 business days from the date of this email.)
