No it’s an optical illusion

Transit uses the MBTA API to retrieve data about the schedule and about where buses are currently. They provide this guide to determining whether the data you see is based on a schedule or realtime data https://help.transitapp.com/article/445-how-to-track-departures-on-your-transit-line. If the realtime data you see is off/flaky, it’s the MBTAs fault because the data is taken from the MBTA API. If the ghost buses are based on schedule time data and not realtime data, that means the bus is either delayed relative to the schedule or that run was cancelled by the MBTA (and not reported as such on the API). I recommend only looking at realtime data for the buses unless you’re near the beginning and end of the route since realtime data is typically much more accurate (but often realtime data only starts reporting once the bus leaves its origin stop)

Holden to Cambridge is one hell of a commute. I’d suggest looking in the Worcester area or somewhere in Worcester county where you don’t have to travel 1hr+ for appointments for days you don’t work. Its not often that you find someone willing to commute that far, or drive that far to the dr. It’s ma, you have literally anything you need within 30 min (if you don’t live in the boonies of Holden). I lived in Worcester for 4 years, I’d recommend umass 1000x over any other hospital in Worcester tho.

F-35s, F YEAH!

Yeah I picked up a parka from the sale in fall and it's better than any LL bean coat I've worn.

Eliminate the Defense budget…. Fund the Offense budget.

Around April. Bit of a wait, the branches are empty now.

🎶 'Murica!! FUCK YEAH!! Comin' again to save the motherfuckin' day, yeah!

yep and the new ones don't work through your wallet anymore, you have to take them out to tap them.

Mbta buses often switch routes due to driver shortages.

Hence the phantom bus issue.

They also don't track every single bus, many shown are just the scheduled arrivals.

On my cake day at that! 😭

Because an illegal war that happened twenty years ago is the same as a terrorist attack on our specific city from half as long ago

It’s non-branded running shoes.

You know, like to symbolize a marathon.

It’s going to be an active construction site for at least 2 more years. You’d think they would discount the rent significantly because of it.

Not enough details here to know. But the pickup areas are often a total circus, and this happened at a time that is typically very busy there.

Just wait until you see Oscar the Grouch, Elmo, and Bert walking to the T on the way to Sesame Street.

No problem, chin up!

Some buildings are partially underwater but they don’t tell you that.. I know a few buildings they’ve had to replace the bottom of the elevators because water underneath the building eroded the elevator. A few of the parking garages are also starting to sink.

There’s a lot to be said about ambience.

Bos / Sichuan Allston. Very good. And China Pearl second location in Quincy for Dim Sun or off menu

No, water makes things wet.

Does anyone know why charliecards expire?

It was just recently the 20Y anniversary of the Iraq invasion, clearly one of the greatest crimes of the century (when you go to the Security Council, get rejected, then still do it, I don't know what else to say), not widely covered in the media (PBS and Democracy Now had some time devoted to it, others I'm sure as well, specifically on the question: why did we do it -- to try to show we're still the superpower was the unfortunate answer from a top analyst)...still, your comment here is in poor taste.
