Since the train was craptastic and I got a red line alert to my mobile, I hopped off the p508 at Back Bay, trying to reduce my red line delay by using orange to downtown crossing... surprise! The red line train had only pulled a few cars away from the platform, and sat there for at least fifteen minutes before moving. So much for my 09.00 meeting...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-42432368191450610712008-12-08T17:01:00.000-05:002008-12-08T17:01:00.000-05:00Elizabeth--Absolutely.

The mass transit systems throughout the country are already overtaxed. I still have MBTA nightmares. <BR/><BR/>I really really really hope some meaningful change and improvement takes place.<BR/><BR/>Great blog!!!JR Moreauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256739903092400401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-32673554633033628522008-12-08T11:01:00.000-05:002008-12-08T11:01:00.000-05:00Sorry to hear about your commute this morning, not...Sorry to hear about your commute this morning, not a good way to start the work week. Regarding the Sun Chronicle article...nothing will stop people from being stupid. If you are on the tracks, one is asking to get injured or even killed. No gate, fence or horn is going to stop this. The Nov. 8th accident in Mansfield was, from most eye witness accounts, a suicide, but the official Amtrak police report has yet to be released. I strongly believe that the horn should be sounded at these station platforms that abut the high speed tracks(S. Attleboro, Mansfield, Sharon, Canton Junction, Hyde Park). That is as safe as it can get.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-70671675661401500532008-12-08T10:21:00.000-05:002008-12-08T10:21:00.000-05:00What a horrible, abysmal, terrible, atrocious, abh...What a horrible, abysmal, terrible, atrocious, abhorrent, nasty, unacceptable, ridiculous, absurd, dreadful, and reprehensible commute this morning.<BR/><BR/>I stood outside in the 11 degree weather at Worcester from 6:47 to 7:21! I didn't regain feeling in my toes until Southborough. And the worst part? There was not ONE single apology via intercom on the trains.<BR/><BR/>I hope Danny-boy enjoyed the heater of his taxpayer-funded "emergency" vehicle, while his minions were freezing waiting for inept service.<BR/><BR/>2nd worst commute of the year next to 6/25. We should do a top ten at year's end!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
