Even an outdoor platform. I don't care. Yes, the commuter rail platform is sheltered, but it's steaming hot in the summer and freezing in the winter. When you walk onto the platform, it's a cloud of blue diesel smoke, which sometimes prevents you from seeing to the other end of the platform. <BR/><BR/>I was in the South Station area last Thursday and boarded there for a change. It is so discouraging to see what that place looks like and then have to return to my armpit of a station, knowing it's also giving me cancer. I hate that place. Nothing about it looks clean, let alone "nice." They scream the announcements, there's usually smoke in the lobby, it leaks like a sieve and it just looks outdated. Everything about it is old, dingy and covered in slime. Most of the time the doors to the platform are cracked or broken, and unlike South Station, you can't walk in or out without being swarmed by someone wanting to sell you something, or give you a Metro or whatever.<BR/><BR/>I can't stress enough, I hate that place.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924944462734862836noreply@blogger.com
