I'm not on board for congestion pricing, but I think on a different reasoning despite it sounds similar. Historically and currently, cities that have run transit well have done it without congestion pricing. There are cities that does it now but it is still a recent development. So I'm of the...

These moments are the type of moments that leaves me trying to fathom what's on their minds. Every person who comments expresses bafflement, but it's always the unnamed people in charge that expresses no urgency or concern (except maybe McGee by his omission of the station situation). Why does...

Yes, that's could be a problem... ...The way you're wording this sounds Baker's mistake is he was too nice to the T. If you want to speculate that's the reason, fine, but I have to express the reason why Baker kept saying the MBTA is doing a good job is because he wanted keep anger the the...

It might not be okay with the MBTA doing this, but can the City of Boston get away with putting bathrooms that charge money like some European cities? That would indirectly help the MBTA to an extent and allow us to use bathrooms that is (hopefully) less disgusting. That said, while the MBTA...

I think part of the fear is this is going to be a thing until is actually 2027 rather than just a joke. I saw on Reddit that one guy claimed it was suppose to be done by last September. I have no idea how to go verify so I don't know if they really claimed that - but it is sadly plausible that...

I notice headways and speed turn into trash every time they have to shut down the green line between the GC and North Station. It caught me off-guard several times. I'm not making this mistake again today. I don't know why this happens. If I am to speculate then my guess it's because they...

Along with busses, it's probably worth noting the schedule changes to trains. First, I'll quote u/Chemical-Glove-1435 who been consistently publishing slow zone updates. It's just easier to read the bullet points and than the PDF. So that said, his post notes this So that said, I decided the...

This is kinda a tangent, but why did they do that? Ashmont used to be cross platform. The old station did that on purpose. I remember the chatter here back the talking about it, but we I don't recall anyone going into any design discussion back then. 2009 was not that long ago. A lot of here...

In an alternate timeline, our football stadium would have occupied the Waterfront/Seaport or something like that. I'm glad it's not. (Thinking about that, would that timeline would have forced MA to build the Silver Line as proper light rail? That's a thought) What should happen is Gillette...

The focus of the video is electric cars and it doesn't mention Boston at all (and let's not derail into his bigger point), but through the whole video it weaves in the topic Battery Electric Busses and Trolleybusses. I can't help but remember the 71 and 73 line. Barring a large miscalculation...

On r/boston, one of the upvoted comments claims that Kraft wants to but the NIMBYs of Foxboro and Walpole push back anytime it was proposed. I do not know which is correct, I'm just pointing this contraction and curious if anyone knows an answer. A cursory Google search find various article...

My frustration at the councilor's Tweet and subsequent tweets she shows a stalk difference been us here and her. I'm not sure how to word it, but the tweets from Mike Connolly subcommunicates that he's asking the same questions and has the same desires that we would express and advocate if we...

Note to self. I'm not voting for her next election

https://www.wcvb.com/article/video-floor-buckling-aboard-crowded-mbta-green-line-trolley-boston-marathon/43742354 WCVB reports the video showing the incident and reports the MBTA's reasoning - some kind of misalignment in the metal floor developed. They checked all the other type 9s and they...

(I would link to FB's post but I'm not gonna mess with their embed link). Sligo's is closing in June

It's hard to fathom the mindset if this is what's going on. Like if I was assigned to inspect the tiles, I wouldn't be able to call it complete without checking them for sake of not wanting anyone to get hurt. It's not like everything looks shiny where it could hide something that's actually...

A particularly damming development as it's the same station as the ceiling tiles that was only a few months ago. With the previous close call, how was this not detected?

The repeal feels also strangely insulting(?), irritating(?) when one remember the Minuteman. Like it or not, that itself is now a poison pill. Free to say they don’t oppose it now, but just as strong new barriers to block it if a new window ever appears

I don't have anything to comment on what the MBTA and its employees should do about its people, culture, or structure. But the one example is worth thinking about. What's going on in this one aspect where such visible maps aren't being updated? I can guess a few things. Like GLX Construction...

One of the big talking points people keep saying is how everyone involved needs to ride the T. This situation not just riding the T but being even near the T at all. One can say these are different people advocating different things, but one thing I'll definitely say on this - if the MBTA was...
