I heard the Back Bay location is getting stalled due to required licenses. Apparently the people who live above it aren't happy ones getting out in there. Sounds about NIMBY for Back Bay

Remember that many on r/Boston want to defund the police and also let criminals out of prisons. What could go wrong?

The headlines would be read "Look how much these government employees get paid" in the most negative way possible.

Green Line gets me to Kenmore about as quick as the pony express got mail across the west though

Take the T. It stops right outside.

Ride a bike. There is a BlueBikes dock RIGHT OUTSIDE. That street has perhaps the best protected bike lanes in the city. Biking is a great way to get there considering ALL of their combos are over 1000 calories NOT including the drink.

Why are you driving? If you want a suburban lifestyle, move to the suburbs.

Brockton Tire Address: 311 N Montello St, Brockton, MA 02301 Hours: Open ⋅ Closes 6 PM Phone: (508) 427-0010 I got 4 good used tire for under $200, mounted and balanced

I’m sure it is subjective, but with all the options in the city I would classify Faneuil Hall as a tourist trap offering sub par food and underwhelming very generic shopping. Sam Adams is low on the list of good breweries here. There are way better options. Salem is ok (better in the Summer) but probably not worth this person spending a full day on when they have 15 other items on their list and only a few days in Boston.

TransitMatters can figure it out from travel times, which is great because it got the T to actually admit some of the problems. It seems like the additional information TransitMatters can't necessarily figure out is why there is a slow down (track? tunnel? train? signals?), and precisely how many miles have what level of speed restriction. Of course, what would be really great is having some idea when they are going to fix it.

Don’t call the MBTA a horse.

Horses are reliable.

It'll be interesting to see how the data differs from Transit Matters. The T is not unfamiliar with using practices that make its numbers look better, like not counting cancelled buses and trains towards reliability statistics.

Well, its an improvement over basically lying about them. What would be nice is fixing them. At least this way we will have a good idea of progress. Thanks to TransitMatters for keeping them honest.

I wish the person who broke my windshield this morning saw this post :( now I have to pay $400 for someone being fucking stupid

TransitMatters extrapolates slow zones from travel time data, which they’ve done a very good job with. This information is straight from the horse’s mouth.

I'd suggest calming down a bit. People are just trying to be helpful.

I echo all the other comments in here, I will also add that they are brutally understaffed.

A red flag that I can’t pay $5720 in a month??? If i could do that I wouldn’t be looking for an apartment for 1900

Is this that different from what TransitMatters already had?

The point of the comment was really the thank you

If you're already signed then you should be okay to ask for an extension. If you haven't signed yet it's gonna be a red flag for them

You can ask for whatever you want, but if you can't pay the up front costs right away then the landlord might think twice about renting to you

I am going to get "people are no damn good" translated into Latin and make it my family motto.
