[PRCo] Transit Happenings (Not Necessarily PRCo)

[Herb Brannon]

First from Cleveland RTA is this news bite from Fox/Faux 8, Cleveland on
July 2nd:
Cleveland RTA Incident
<http://fox8.com/2014/07/01/video-shows-rta-driver-robbed-at-gunpoint-with-passengers-on-bus/>
Things seem to be going downhill as far as safety at RTA these days.
The video is a "slow starter" so give it a few seconds to get going.

Next, I was watching all the "happenings" in Jerusalem on CNN and noticed
that one of the streets shown in the broadcast had tracks and overhead
wire. Who would have guessed that Jerusalem had streetcars. Check out the
photos attached. Also, who would have guessed that it snows there. I worked
in Saudi Arabia, which is pretty much in the same area, and it was always
hot.

Last, no more "taking the trolley" to work for me. I got a new, full time,
job with Allegheny County Government beginning July 14. I will be a clerk
in the Department of Children, Youth & Family Services/Northern District
Family Court, on Perrysville Avenue, in Pittsburgh. Too bad the number 8
trolley doesn't operate.

One more item. There are a couple spots remaining for the "Trolley Picnic"
at PTM on August 2nd. Let me know at <hrbran at cavtel.net> if you want to
attend.
