Oh man I’ve never been there in the AM but that intersection and then the right into the tunnel must absolutely blow

The few times a week I do commute, especially on weekends, taking the Williams Tunnel out of Eastie is a fucking nightmare

Construction detail is the only time you see them outside the cars on their feet

In many states the head coach of some sport at a public university is the highest paid state employee, but in Massachusetts it is the chancellor of UMass Medical School. Both are in professions with very sharp competition from the private sector, of course.

Maybe a riot? When’s the last time we rioted for MBTA reasons

You’re right, it’s not a tough concept: Cops shouldn’t work paid details all day, and then come in to work their shift exhausted. For many cops, the detail checks become the main goal. Details should be mostly abolished.

Great! I might be working, if not I’ll likely be there watching it anyway. I’m sure I’ll see you!

I'd much rather the city pay police overtime to police, not stand next to an Eversource truck browsing instagram. I get it and I 100% do not blame BPD officers for taking advantage of that- I would too. but there are legitimate problems that need to be solved in the city. Traffic is a disaster and the murder rate is double what it was last YTD, to name a few.

Not having a commute but having to be extremely deliberate about having a morning routine otherwise my day is just crap. So I still have to do a 10-15 mins walk. And i make coffee just as a signal that it is work time. And i have to go on a walk after work again to separate evening from work.

People are being let back into the building. My company has space rented out in that building.

The MBTA website lists a "5-Day Flex Pass" Scroll down, it's at the bottom of passes.
"Get five 1-day passes for a 10% discount compared to round-trip travel 1-day passes valid for 24 hours of unlimited travel."
The way you describe what you are buying, this may be a fit for you. You effectively buy a Zone 1 day pass, ride inbound from QC to SS, then outbound from SS to Ruggles, on one ticket, then back.

Why is there basically zero detail here, do the police know anything? Aren’t there cameras at least

I know this is a tough concept. But construction detail shifts are done outside of the normal shifts. What you would be suggesting is having them do added overtime in patrol.

The MBTA culture will break him like it has everyone before him.

Perhaps it’s time to take the cops off the construction detail and actually put them to work?
Would be really something if it’s the same fucking group of minors that’s been attacking people there for a year.

That moment when you look at the sign and it says "next orange line 20+ minutes" which means it is going to be a sardine can when it does arrive and the one following will be another 20 minutes after that one.
