    I am extremely happy someone else has pointed this out. This is one reason why I haven't applied to anything there. I had great interest in a non-safety office management role, then I saw this statement, and said there's no justification in my life for having someone want me / call me to come in...

    State to take closer look at tolls on I-93

    Agreed! And with NO OPPORTUNITY to redirect funds elsewhere.

    WOW Arlington, I had no idea this existed! Thank you so much for providing this detail. "Serenity, now."

    How would I feel? I can tell you how I feel, and that's a bit disappointed while optimistic. You're acting like this premise is new to the MBTA, when it's not. If I say "Breda" or "LRV" to anyone remotely knowledgeable about historic procurement, and the associated issues that have come with it...

    Your fandom is starting to come off as obsessive. You seem to have all the answers, yet your opinion (much like mine) isn't going beyond this internet forum. Try contacting the MBTA directly, using the same words/tone used here, and see how that goes. We get it, the issues are frustrating. Tell...

    Thank you for providing this information. The bill itself is indeed an excellent read. Rail-related items of interest which stuck out to me: For the purpose of implementing sustainable transit system modernization investments and rail improvements pursuant to chapter 161A of the General...

    I would guess that's why she does appear; she's too "clueless" to know she should be ashamed.

    Thank you for the picture HelloBostonHi. Aside from the destination sign shrinking horizontally (which I'm not sure how I feel about), I'm glad they at least got the correct "T" logo on the car you spotted (and didn't keep that obscenely incorrect version the mock-up & test car has been showing.

    Boy, am I getting sick of seeing people throw the "World Class" phrase around, just because the city (& its representatives) have done so in the past. We're talking about a frickin' tunnel. We don't need a "world class tunnel", which is what you're insinuating...just a secure & effective one.

    I'm sorry, but I can't stay silent anymore as someone who enjoys the Transit section here. Was a post like yours (above) REALLY necessary? What did it contribute? What are we supposed to get out of it? The fact that you thought something was going to be the case, as it turned out to be, is...

    I've been asking about that for years...found a post from 4 years ago I made, concerning this same exact observation/scenario: http://www.railroad.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=153143&p=1223615#p1223615

    Gov't Center Station Rebuild

    I think this sums it up nicely, going back to my main point of others bringing up the dreaded detour signage still being there, and 'why hasn't it been removed yet', barely 24 hours afterwards. I shouldn't HAVE to say it...that kind of minimal patience should be expected.

    Gov't Center Station Rebuild

    I agree leaving those up can be considered "deferred maintenance" over time...leaving those up only a day after re-opening hardly qualifies. When a couple of weeks pass, then I'll be right on board with you. When motorpersons have stopped announcing a closure, that should also be taken as a...

    Gov't Center Station Rebuild

    Hey, you're entitled to your opinion, as am I. But "trying to rebalance the loading" isn't going to be done most effectively via critical posts on this site...truly helping would be standing at Park St. telling riders that GC is back open. If someone is "with it" enough to know about Arch...

    Gov't Center Station Rebuild

    Oh brother, 24 hours has passed since something good happened for the MBTA system...time for the dramatics to resume: Though it would've been helpful, I doubt the T wanted to take time to compose some kind of GC closure "sign removal" program, and who can blame them? There's bigger fish to...

    Are you this guy on UniversalHub? If not, you two should keep each other busy. Explain why the colored lights By roadman on Fri, 02/19/2016 - 11:12am are necessary. More wa$te of resources in the name ot asethetics. And exactly the type of CRAP the "review" board should be putting a stop...
