....So? We should run MBTA like a business. Every business projects shrinkage and life goes on. Like imagine if Best Buy had exit gates and you had to scan your receipt. Instead, they have a civilian inspector who asks to see your receipt. You can say no and move on. They cannot pursue...

Youve listed a series of excuses that have extended an Obama shovel-ready project into a 10 year odyssey. Come on, can you really type this with a serious face? "Why yes, we do update the schedule twice a year, but shaving off those 55 seconds is really too much work for the spreadsheet guy"...

The current Acela has been tested at 165 as well. Bug bucks went to make sections of track capable of that speed. After 10 years of construction, that is supposed to be finished, but naturally Amtrak wont kick up the throttle.

Ah, that explains it. The rule would need to be 76 pax for it to make any sense these days.

Fly to Bedford you cowards

Alamo Drafthouse has a similar concept to Arclight from what I understand. I believe theyre in bankruptcy, but the reorg type, not the close forever type. Maybe an opportunity?

American agencies and "piloting" proven concepts for years on end, name a better pair

That was definitely something I experienced when I did a few days trips to Providence. The last trains in either way being before 9pm is still ridiculous though. Hopefully when night life comes back, they add the 11pm back.

The length thing may be a labor/union rule. IE, maybe running the Ds all the way out would have required an extra break or something

They should use those IR sensors that stores use to make a ding noise when a new customer comes in. Those work 100% of the time.

If youre at Government Center and directing a tourist to Kenmore for the baseball game, saying "take any B, C or D train" is much easier for them to remember than the termini You could counter with "tell them to simply not take the Heath Street train" but the negative is a lot less reassuring.

The problem with depending on the terminus is that 95% of the riders dont care about it. When youre in DC, and you want the red line, "Shady Grove" and "Glenmont" are easy to confuse because theyre places no one cares about. It just doesnt stick in the mind. If youre directing someone to...

Youre right, thats disappointing. I hate how geographically inaccurate that side of the map is. I also just noticed it says December 2020 v.35 I like that they added the date. The "version" number seems unnecessary. But that just adds confusion as to why theyre showing future service on a...

Nice find. I wonder if consolidating the BU stops will allow them to make the B line shorter. I hate how it looks so much longer than the D

Ive been there a couple of times, the building basically starts on the 5th floor. You take a ton of really long escalators to get to the good stuff. I actually stopped by the night they went out of business.

Requesting a permanent ban for this individual

The fact that multiple people think its a garage is telling

When discussing planes, theres very little talk about bathroom per pax, but that really becomes a comfort issue after 4 hours. Some airline room bathrooms to add extra seats, so you get a permanent line in the aisle

My last flight to Europe (Spain) I picked an A340 on purpose because theyre going away :(

Alaska flies Seattle to Honolulu for 6.5 hours on a Boeing 737
