Look where you made your comment, on a post about new trains having new train issues. You want perfection where perfection cannot exist. This has nothing to do with holding government accountable. If anything, you should be saying "wow, it's good the MBTA caught this and took them out of service and are fixing them right away as new things always have issues like this." You made zero indication you understood or care about the nuance of this subject. So, if you're not a fan of privatization, which you conveniently didn't say you're not a fan of, all you seem to be doing is circle jerking for internet points.

Whose not a terrible driver on the road nowadays. Everyone is looking at there phone still…

Someone out there is going 1 mile above the speed limit and you can’t do anything about it.

You have fun being offended by every post on this subreddit. Maybe get a job instead lmao

Ok, you spend the rest of your life taking notes on who isn’t following every law exactly the way it’s written. Have fun.

Amazing.

Who said it was? But it shouldn't happen. A private business taking advantage of a publicly owned street is not good and it should be called out. You're the only one who is so offended here. You're an absolute clown

A roundabout has marked lanes and a rotary does not. MA is in the process of phasing out rotaries and turning them into roundabouts.

It’s not the end of the world for anyone on this planet if the car is parked like that.

> We can see how many people support developers who come into neighborhoods to make their millions.

Yes, I support people who provide a human necessity, shelter. I’m also a sellout to farmers who plant and harvest thousands of acres of land to make their millions too. I’m also a sellout to biotech companies that develop new ways to treat and cure illnesses to make their millions as well.

It’s almost as if people who do things that are necessary should get paid for it. Crazy thought.

> People have rights to decide how their area is developed. Many more are starting to speak up against over building.

Why should you have more of a right to determine how a property is developed than the owner of the property itself? If I and a few neighbors think your property should be an ice cream shop, should we be able to force you to bulldoze your house to provide us an ice cream shop?

> There is no need to turn Boston/MA into a large city/cities. Supporters are destroying the area in some delusional thinking that more building will bring prices down.

It’s already a large city and should organically get larger if the demand is there to do so. Building more is the only way to drop prices and allow more people the opportunity to live in the area. Also, Boston was destroyed when it passed 10k people, and then again when it passed 100k people, and then again when it passed 500k people. It’ll be destroyed again when it passes 1 million people and then again when it hits 1.5 million. Boston is always dead and always dying, ever since the Puritans first arrived. Hell, even the Massachusett tribe probably destroyed it after taking it from some other tribe a century earlier. Places change, just accept it.

Uber and doordash they blocked my account

Because i saw one gay he do amazon flex in boston he work 3h for 120$ like 40$ per hour and for 5h he get 220$

I’m from Atlanta and there were always jokes about Cumming, GA which is a rural “suburb” of Atlanta.

Some of these prices could also be slightly inflated seeing how today is 12/31 and a lot of flex drivers also do Uber/Lyft, and are probably saving all their work hours and such for tonight... i honestly.. cant remember the last time there were still so many blocks available at this time during the day...

Why are you so offended for this car driver? Imagine being upset when someone says blocking the sidewalk is a bad idea. You truly are a snowflake

Its not much more... i just checked the app... a 130-430 slot for today from Salem was 58.50 for 3 hours so 19.50.

3 hour slot from wimington was 61.50

Haverhill (NH border) was 66 bucks.. all 3 of these are for the same time frame and north of Boston

2pm to 5pm from Middleboro (south of the boston) was 90 bucks

2-530 from Plymouth was 122.50

​

so the prices vary in range... somewhere like Middleboro and Plymouth have the potential to send you to to Cape Cod, and maybe have a lot of driving miles.. versus the other locations which are probably more compact in the area in which you will deliver...

Not sure on the pay rates but I know one thing for sure: $18/hr goes a lot further in FL than it does in Boston.

Last time I drove in Pennsylvania I kept getting stuck behind horse and buggy’s.

Do you really want to follow every rule of law exactly the way it was written? Do you reserve the same amount of outrage when you do something outside the letter of the law? How many disabled people walk on that sidewalk per year at that particular location? All that fuss for maybe…5 people at most?

Because we don't make trains in America anymore, we make war machines. And those cost billions and billions. I wish we did make trains, fast, efficient, and reliable ones! But we fucked up and you have roads that get destroyed every year and bridges hit by idiot truck drivers

oh no did a democrat invest in infrastructure?? do your fee fees hurt?

Any that will still take your order! (Srsly OP… that’s your option. Start calling rn).

look I’m the biggest critic of this contract you’ll ever find, but LA Metro and (if memory serves) SEPTA both have orders with CRRC. Richie Neal even got them some sort of special dispensation so that they’d qualify for “buy american” status during the trump admin. they’re probably not going to shut down anytime soon.

This isn't the first time the new OL trains have been taken out of service due to a potential issue, which makes me question the longevity of this fleet.

Why does the car get extra space that is meant for pedestrians and disabled people? Even if it's minute, why should a disabled person suffer for a rich Mercedes driver who can't follow the laws
