I mean you never noticed all the big signs warning about death and the third rail over the third rail?

What does free wifi have to do with people who have been deprived of their right to vote?

They do hide it that’s why up until an hour ago you didn’t know what or where it was

You can make the doors on the barriers wider than the doors on the train to give you some leeway. There are also vertical barrier doors that don't care about door positions.

Yea same, I heard it was supposed to pen in January

Used a subway for 5 years had no clue

Well, technically they are fully replacing the rolling stock and signals on the orange and red as we type. Unfortunately it's all gone to shit and years behind.

It's fairly obvious to anyone who uses a subway.

Didn’t even know there was a second rail!

[removed]

It is hidden after the 2nd rail. You didnt even know where it was until now

Seems kind of unnecessary, like why can’t they just hide it

It's the rail that powers the train.

It's a live rail, meaning it has an electrical current running through it. It's what powers most subways. There is usually a plate that contacts it from the train but if you accidentally (or purposely) touch it, it will light you up.

What the hell does 3rd rail mean. Everyone talks about it like it’s so obvious

I’ve seen them in brookline as recently as last year

in my backyard in Quincy every summer

I’ve always wondered why there aren’t fireflies here! I grew up in Queens in an area of similar density/vegetation to much of Somerville, and we had fireflies every summer growing up but I’ve rarely seen them around Boston, except on the islands.

We have tons of them here in the summer, but I live up in Westford.

I have seen them, but mostly on monorail systems
There aren't platform screen doors in LA, NYC, Chicago, DC, most of London
Trivia: Invented in Boston

I've never seen them here in the city, but I have seen them in southern New Hampshire for the first time during the last 3 summers, and in the summer of 2019 Central Park in NYC was full of them.

What is being done to your car that buying a $5k second car is a viable option?

Just get a pre-purchase inspection

This was the RED line and that is why there are still signs about it everywhere
