If the MBTA goes any slower it will be going backwards. Could someone please explain how they could go any slower. We already are adding on 15 to 20 more minutes to commuting time on the subway due to an earlier derailment which they have been trying to fix for over a month and I hear from someone on the inside this could actually be years. The adding time IS already for slowing the speed of the train.
Are they just making excuses - this after raising fares a month ago (just after the derailment) and since a fire, another derailment.
Hopefully the train cars are at least air conditioned.
...oh wait, my bad! It's summer so the heat'll be on, no a.c. until mid-December (at least that's how the subway system works most times here in NYC)
Yes that is one thing in common between Boston and NYC the "quality" subway system. Fortunately I now work from home 3 days a week and only need to commute with the common folk 2 days.
