Sweet summer child.

If you don't mind me asking, what city?

It’s affected by everything.
We had an inch of snow like a month ago and they were sooooooo late

MTA controls the LIRR and Metro North , it's all one agency and the new fare system will cover the commuter rails along with every NY transit system south of Albany. PATH will also use the new OMNY system and will roll out next yr. NJT decided to go with the same flawed company as SEPTA/PATCO, but there have been growing calls to dump it at least in North / Central Jersey for the cubic system. And the NY system has faced numerous delays I think they're 2yrs behind.

Nah. They’d have said already. Snow emergencies are expensive; they’d rather not.

My motor vehicle is an electronic device though 🤔

Friday?? Can’t find any sources on that. Got any links? I’ve got really important plans Friday 🤦🏻‍♂️

I thought you HAD to use a fare machine? Which kind of defeats the purpose of not needing to go to a fare machine...

The only use I found for it was being able to pay with my old shitty cards that have lost their magnetic strip. It also takes until the next business day to take effect, so overall a very unpleasant system.

Doesn’t say anything about cops!

How did that first comment go before you edited it?

Been the norm in Boston for a long time. Generally an unspoken rule. Not that I support it.

Yeah, I graduated from law school in 2006. Didn’t pass the Massachusetts bar. Work in another field. If I didn’t already have a house, I’d be in there. 😁

Cool story, bro.

We have built the nation around the car. It’s hard to get out of, though we all should.

There are busses.

Love these. Plenty of opportunity for an older person to get leverage and life themselves up, and discourages homeless people sleeping on the benches.

It is illegal to even touch an electronic device (e.g. your phone) while driving a motor vehicle.

​

EDIT (because the OP is a snowflake and blocked me for not jumping on his bandwagon):

u/raabbasi - even using them. You can turn them on or off while driving, but nothing else.

Yes, that will definitely help me get to a location that the commuter rail does not go to

Stop driving into and through Boston. Take the commuter rail in bad weather, ride a bicycle in good weather. :)

Remember, you're not stuck IN traffic, you ARE traffic.

These benches are absolutely not designed to be 'age friendly' what a joke. They are to prevent ppl from lying down. Shameful display

So I’m not going to be an asshole here like others, but here is a big tip. If you stand in front of the door, that’s fine! It just means that every stop, you gotta basically move to the very edge of the door, and put half your body in the train, and the other half out. Or step off completely. You give clear passage to others, keep your spot on the train, and won’t run into issues. Sometimes it’s completely unavoidable to stand in front of the door. That’s all.

From that angle it looks like a heart which is nice. Problem is there's another angle where it looks like a dick.

Drivers complaining about other drivers (but calling them “traffic”) to those other drivers is never not bizarre to me.
