It is the new normal. And it's only going to get worse.

My hunch is that they want to wait for the spring so that snow isn’t something to work around and it will be light out longer for track work south of JFK

My deepest sympathies to whoever they find to run the T next. I can't even imagine the stack of shit that awaits the next person to take the helm there.

MBTA upper management, MassDOT, and state executive leadership are the only ones that believe their own claims since they don't ride their own system 🙄

The MBTA posted an announcement about a full red line shutdown a couple months ago and quickly deleted it. It's obvious it's coming and the PR has already been written. Just a matter of when.

I'm so grateful for Transit Matters. It's hard for the T to gaslight us with "no issues" when there's clear data showing the increased journey time. The headways are also infuriating, the amount of times I get to DTX and the next Alewife trains are in 13 and 15 minutes at rush hour is infuriating.

Yes. They’re gonna have to bite the bullet and do it and it’s gonna suck so bad.

Not what I meant, but I see how you could think that. Poor people are trapped in a neverending cycle of poverty. Asking them not to resort to extremes, like crime, is an unreasonable expectation when basic necessities can't reasonably be met through other means. My intention was to point out the ignorance associated with the question " why don't they just stop killing each other?"

This is the same sub that a month ago said those neighborhoods are just fine to move into and your a bigot if your think otherwise.

Went last week..Not worth it unless it’s for the kids..there’s actually less now.. exhibits under construction and less fish in the tank..

It's more of a general thing for me but good to know.

Yessirrrrrr 🐧🐧🐧

There's very little reporting on some of these, including the 14 year old child. Very unfortunate hypernormalization going on here

Once upon a time Saabs and Volvo's ruled the roads of MA. I still remember seeing Saab commercials all the fucking time on PBS during their begathons err phone auctions in the 90s.

The answer to this question probably changes every 20 years.

RIP Saab.

I upgraded to an off-street parking spot. Worth it.

You took a bad take and made it so much worse. Seemed like you were about to make a point about the correlations between crime and poverty, something with nuance that you could use to then talk about how these communities aren’t being served well with the current way programs, resources, and transport options reach them or how crime may fill a role an individual could have addressed better with more assistance from the city, community, whatever. But then you just asked how anyone can expect lower income citizens to not kill people, like it’s something in poor peoples nature that can’t be overcome. They are people too.

Check out this one from England, they put rotaries in their rotary.

Was there yesterday with stroller and diaper bag (normal size backpack style diaper bag)and nobody said anything and we went right in.

Thanks for the suggestion of the Viennese Ball. I already have plans on that weekend, but I'll put it in my reminder list for the next one. It looks like a good time!
