Why don't you just buy a new car and sell your old one? Cause:

(1) Cost of this car (you say 5(k), (2) plus tax and insurance (let's say 1,000 total, conservative estimate, +tax on sale and the hassle (another 1,000?). That's a good 7k spent, non-recoverable, which coupled with the value of your primary car, may be better to trade in.

​

(Maybe you recover some of this cars value when you sell, but that's a risky business)

Yea I thought about tax. I need it for 5 months could be less could be more depending on how long I need to wait for missing parts. Rental is usually a thousand per month and it’s money thrown away

Ha never heard of this before. Thx for mentioning gotta do some research on this

It’s waiting for airbag🤦‍♀️ I have been waiting for 3 months. And manufacture just called saying I need to wait at least until summer. I’m on a rental from insurance but only until early March. Trying to talk to insurance and manufacture but gotta get ready for the worst.

Can’t beat this deal

Ofc there is a fb group for everything😂

Thats a far more reasonable concern then the cloud parking over our heads

It's less about rider safety and more about trackside worker safety. Even platform barriers are more about protecting the train drivers from the trauma of someone stepping out in front in a suicide attempt than protecting riders from doing so.

>They typically de-energize whenever contractors need to work on ROW.

The procedures/"lock out/tag out" process, at least from the contractor POV seems very loosey goosey and there's a lot less emphasis on exclusive track occupancy and defined on track protection methods than I'm used to.

I saw them last summer in Brookline, not far from Coolidge corner. I’ve never seen them before in the city.

Every category has it's third rail. For instance, the third rail of r/Boston is asking a serious question with the expectation of receiving a serious answer.

What they should say is the solution to pollution is [redacted] the CEOs of the companies responsible

Why are we downvoting this comment? Don't we want to encourage curiosity? Especially the life-saving kind?

I'm more concerned that they're going to continue to sell crops and animal products that come into contact with contaminated water without any warning. Maybe it's an unfounded concern, idk I'm not a doctor

Thanks for contacting the moderation team. Your concerns are important to us. Here's a video

I get that the mod wanted to allow these posts because they ARE relevant but do we need a new one every day? To answer your question op obviously people are concerned or we wouldn't still be talking about it and it wouldn't be in the news

You are right it isnt far which is why IF it were to come this way it already has and has gone by its been over 2 weeks.

Not really. As they say, "the solution to pollution is dilution"

>Remember how the smoke from California's wildfires reached New York City?

Yeah, but California's fires were millions of acres burning. This is much, much smaller

Trains travel on two rails, this is what you think of as a railroad track. Subways can have a third rail. This is not for steering the train, but for carrying electricity.

To get a license you need to have valid immigration status for 12 more months and a visa stamp that's valid for 12 more months. So you need to wait for your extension to be granted and get a new visa stamp (this still has to be done abroad) before you are eligible. You can also wait until July 1st. I'm sorry for the bad news :(

600 volts DC Baby!!!

MBTA cannot do it because the current rolling stock varies. On the Red line they have 2 different types with varying measurements and the CRRC will make it 3. Orange has 2, Green has 3, and eventually 4. Until all of the rolling stock has the same measurements they cannot even consider platform gates.

California grown here; I've never seen a firefly in my life, didn't know there were supposed to be any around here but I've never seen one here either. Growing up I wasn't sure they were real.

I fear for the future of this country

I was at a Red Line station where a bunch of teens were messing around and one boy purposely jumped down into the tracks. Fortunately he climbed right out, but an MBTA worker came running over to get the kids to knock it off.
