Commuters are tired and frustrated. The other big T pilot from this year, the WiFi, was an interesting idea but the WiFi is down more than it is up. <BR/><BR/>Excuse the "whiners" for not jumping up and down with excitement. Every time we do (WiFi, more Worcester line trains, etc.), reality rears its ugly head.<BR/><BR/>This sounds promising - let's see how it pans out and if it gets rolled out across the system.Commute-a-holichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927712710178833275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-42984349725929760822008-12-12T21:33:00.000-05:002008-12-12T21:33:00.000-05:00No surprise here.

The T does something good (and cool) with pay by phone and the psuedo transit experts (aka whiners) have nothing to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-55594533258657880322008-12-12T12:52:00.000-05:002008-12-12T12:52:00.000-05:00It's not available to use Worcester train riders y...It's not available to use Worcester train riders yet. This would be a big help on those days when you pay for parking and the train is so late you leave and decide to drive to work. At least with this system you don't phone in your parking payment until you are physically on the train.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-69939416084472307232008-12-12T11:10:00.000-05:002008-12-12T11:10:00.000-05:00Well if the train that person missed started on ti...Well if the train that person missed started on time it definatly didn't finish there. I was on the P508 and it was 10-15 minutes last getting to Framingham where we sat another 15-20 minutes. We left Framingham around 8:15 and were told we would be express from Natick to Back Bay as planned... No so fast according to the conductor in my car some people at one of the Wellesley stops actutally were stanging on the tracks to make the train stop so they could get on. The train made it to BB at 9:30. Hopefully the afternoon comumite will be better but I won't hold my breathAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
