But remember the formula requires you to max out years of service + age to equal somewhere around 90-100 and its 80% of your 3 best years

Does NYC even have that? They didn't when I lived there 10 years ago, but haven't been back lately.

Also, complaining that the place is too busy while also complaining that they don’t have parking. Clearly they aren’t struggling; you want more people going there?

“I can’t find parking near the gigantic urban campus that has one of the busiest streets in the city running through it!!”

At this point, I'd be cool with them ripping all the hardware - rails, ties, switching, everything, even concrete in places where it needs to be repoured - out of the tunnels, and replacing it all with modern gear, one line at a time. And then they do the red line and orange line, dig another tunnel or two to connect the commuter rail between North Station and South Station. Would probably have to replace entire lines with bus service for years, while the line was being gutted and rebuilt, but it's honestly getting to that point. There is only so much you can do when you need spend half your maintenance time just getting equipment in and out of the tunnels. And maybe if we're really good, we can finally have the yellow line. As a treat.
Big-Dig-it-up, but for public transportation this time.

I’ve found that some of the parents-focused sites often have great coverage of local festivals in the greater Boston area, in addition to some of the Boston-focused sites that other people have mentioned. An example is https://northshorekid.com

You get 80% of your final salary upon retirement with Mass Teacher Retirement System. BPS salaries currently top out ~$100k depending on education level. Don’t know anything about federal pensions.

Or, the barrier could just be a room that restrict riders from the boarding area until the train arrives (and passengers disembark)

I don't mean to be argumentative but I also went through this entire process with a lawyer while drafting my lease and discussing security deposits. There is nothing on the page you referenced, nor in any of the legislature I've come across, nor anything that was mentioned by my attorney regarding a "security deposit account." The deposit only needs to be held in a separate, interest bearing account in a Massachusetts bank. There are then separate laws governing the lease and informing the tenant of said account. I have never heard of any state requiring a court order to withdraw funds from a security deposit, and it seems you're also finding it difficult to find this as well aside from what some judge explained to you at some point before.

Reply to What does the Transit Police do? by PresidentBush2
Talk all the shit you want about transit police, but when the marathon bomber was sitting in a boat, the transit police were tasked to go in there and get him out. So we can all make jokes, but obviously some of them are highly trained and helped us during a time of crisis.

Yup. If each state, if not the country, could standardize stations design, the cost savings would be enormous. It would be tens of billions of dollars.
