I live south and work at the airport so I have to cross this piece of shit up to 4 times a day sometimes.

It's definitely much worse,not that it was great to begin with

Oh yeah, nothing you can do about that.

We used to take our students to the UN, round trip to New York and back in one day on a bus. Drop kids off in Chelsea around 10:30, heading back to East Boston to my campus and the effing bridge went up.

Closest I've ever come to losing my mind and swearing in front of students

They record your plate number when you enter.

The Swiss citizens in a referendum mandated Swiss Federal government takeover of the rail system, and continuing capital maintenance and improvement, supporting expenditures on rail.

Not so much in the US.

They’re also doing flood resiliency work

That’s because of poor engineering, water infiltration would cause longer term and even more expensive damage if it wasn’t fixed

So completely necessary

There’s also flood resiliency work going on, also completely necessary because of climate change and the location of the seaport

Especially when you compare it to what it will ultimately cost to fix problems of this magnitude. Can't wait for a bunch of "fiscal conservatives" to start complaining about paying this guy half a mil when he hasn't personally reconstructed the T in his first six months

They know how long you were there. You’ll pay a $5 surcharge on top of that. https://www.massport.com/logan-airport/to-from-logan/parking/terminal-parking/

The mbta is more accessible than other comparable American transit systems, if you think that’s not the case, I encourage you to take the Orange line and listen to the beeping

Yes, correct, it’s complex and there are a lot of dependencies, but at the same time the difference a good leader can make even mired in challenge is night and day compared to a bad one.

Look at the front, and if not there, check the back.

Not sure about that. How can I check?

Washing my face and dragging my self hand over hand to my desk for that first conference call.

Trying to walk across N. Washington St.

I’ve noticed too. Peak frequency used to be about every 4-6 minutes on the 39 but they’ve cut it back a lot due to driver shortages. Even with the reduced schedule though, they don’t have enough drivers to run the reduced schedule so some trips are canceled minutes before they’re supposed to run, leaving bigger gaps between buses.

Further, they don’t have enough bus dispatch staff, so operators often leave the terminal before or after they’re supposed to. This is further compounded by the fact that most of the 39’s route runs on Centre and South Sts, which are congested for large stretches of the day. That’s hard to plan around. This part has gotten a little better with the new bus lanes on Huntington, but the 39 still gets caught in a lot of traffic, making headways less reliable.

The first rotary is always a clusterfuck and the second always has idiots from the right lane cut over to continue on Concord. Can’t count the number of times I’ve had to slam my brakes or swerve because of this.

Going down Lynn Shore Drive (1A), North Shore drivers are insane; no signaling, speeding up to red lights, boldest moves I've ever seen

Springfield to Framingham is the best we can do. Figure out the rest yourselves.

Oh my god yup where people bomb through the rotary on concord Ave

He knows it's shit. They had to call him in for the job. It's called public speaking.

In what manner did the legislature fight against Federal Transit Administration?

Citations needed.

That's a surprising amount of traffic on the Longfellow into Boston, even during rush hour I never see that much..

Lack of Accessibility makes the MBTA a class action lawsuit away from properly fixing this and other stations.
