I would love to have absolutely no performance metrics to be judged against.<BR/><BR/>As a resident of Central Mass., I'm upset that the T&G and the MetroWest Daily News are not more outspoken by the poor performance of our commuter rail service. <BR/><BR/>For most Central Mass. residents, the two options to commute into Boston are really just the commuter rail line or drive the entire way into the city. Driving to a MBTA local stop (such as Riverside or Woodland on the Green Line - D branch) isn't a great option. And they seem to have discontinued all the commuter vans that people rode (including me) before the commuter rail came into town.<BR/><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/><B>Commute-a-holic</B>Commute-a-holichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15927712710178833275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14639084447791774.post-81537183776494952962008-02-05T12:32:00.000-05:002008-02-05T12:32:00.000-05:00I would like to recommend that Mr. Grabauskas get ...I would like to recommend that Mr. Grabauskas get an apartment in Worcester and take his commuter rail to work in Boston daily. Again last night on the P527 train (535 Outbound Back Bay) I stood packed in an isle for half the trip, luckily only arriving home only 20 minutes behind. This morning, on the P508 (719 Inbound Grafton), our car had no heat AGAIN! I can't say if this problem was train-wide, but thank goodness it wasn't a frigidly cold day. Thanks for your effort, or lack there of Mr. Grabauskas.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924944462734862836noreply@blogger.com
