I'm cool with that

This is why it should be a moving violation with mandatory minimum fines.

Methuen location coming soon as well

B&B has some great food. Maybe some is just ok, but I can only imagine it’ll get better with access to a full kitchen.

Jesus fucking christ.

I know you all are flaming this person but just give them a break - those chicken fingers are freaking incredible. They'll drive a man mad.

I made a list for this week here: https://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/11absl6/ive_made_the_list_of_nearly_everything_going_on/

It’s absolutely infuriating driving out there. I do not understand why the cops don’t stop people for this.

I've been trying to put together a list every week as well, here is this weeks: https://www.reddit.com/r/boston/comments/11absl6/ive_made_the_list_of_nearly_everything_going_on/

You need a lot more infrastructure for that to work. The trains have to stop at the exact right place so the doors line up and they have to sync with the platform doors when they open and close. We'd need some more modernization of the trains and signaling before that's possible

Had an ice sheet from a mini van come out and crash in front of me on i90.. the crashing sound of ice on road was terrifying... it wasn't busy... light traffic... but it was a surreal moment for me to experience that...

Thankfully no one was hurt...

But this is serious... folks need to take time and clear off the vehicles before driving...

Sad to read this. When will the feds take over?

Boston does like to copy NYC trends a little later so possibly

This website includes the report the article talks about which is not a dashboard. Amazing reporting from the Globe as usual. It is on a dashboard for FTA Safety Management Inspection Response which top line says MBTA is 36% compliant and have until 2025.

You can lead the MBTA train over the water but you can’t put it in the drink. Except that one time when the Orange line caught fire.

Yeah and I feel like when you live here we all take it for granted. We get annoyed at all the people and ignore how cool it is. I wish it was more boutiques like it used to be instead of all the chains but the history/architecture is still very cool.

Can confirm, I was the shover. I also got a free Obama phone out of it, which is what I’m redditing on in between prayers to Kamala Harris

That somehow makes it even worse 😂 might as well have given you the middle finger haha can you imagine?

>Historically, only existing MBTA employees qualify for dispatcher jobs, and Interim General Manager Jeff Gonneville said the agency is exploring the idea of hiring externally for the role.

sounds to me like they haven't hired anyone from outside yet, but instead just trained people from other roles in the org, and now the problem is:

>our vehicle availability and staffing of operators and front-line management

aka they shuffled people around within the mbta to say "look how well we're doing, we have so many dispatchers now," and in the process they moved so many conductors that they can't run enough trains to maintain their old operating schedule. "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

I've seen them ride before but never at rush hour.

Idk but I’m always happy to see them around DTX since that seems to be where a lot of random violence in the city is concentrated in
