It's putting me on the brink of not being able to work my needed hours with the train I normally catch home.<BR/><BR/>The "on time" message on the boards this morning was from Friday the 31st.<BR/><BR/>The number of cars per train is seemingly random, today we had room to spare with 7 double deckers but last week we had two days with 6 or fewer cars including single deckers and people packed in.<BR/><BR/>I am so frustrated. The only good thing is that since the train schedule change, for some reason the parking lot has emptied out a little, by about 8-10 spaces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-25427829695876820262008-11-03T15:36:00.000-05:002008-11-03T15:36:00.000-05:00Sure, they could use more Fast Lanes on the Pike d...Sure, they could use more Fast Lanes on the Pike during rush hour when most commuters have the transponders. But has anybody ever tried driving into Boston on a Friday or Saturday evening? In those cases the Fast Lanes are wide open but the cash lanes push the traffic back to the Route 128 ramp sometimes. Didnt they used to be able to convert certain lanes to Fast Lane and Cash Only on the fly? Maybe they should do that more often, when needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
