  Universal Hub - All Boston, all the time — Authority: 603
  Adam Weiss reports one of those black-suited special-forces T cops told him to stop taking pictures at the Government Center T stop this afternoon because, apparently, nobodys ever told him about the MBTAs official photography policy - which says picture taking is allowed on T property (just without a flash or ...

• Theres not an app for that

  
  Massachusetts Liberal — Authority: 532
  Excuse me, but why do I want to pay $3.99 to tell me the train or bus is delayed ? I already know that. And forgive me for being cynical about the ability to accurately predict when it will show up. And how, exactly, will it work in the subway without wireless access? Until the T deals with buses and trolleys ...

  Hub Politics — Authority: 124
  I never seem to be at MBTA stops when crazy stuff happens. Just last Friday, an MBTA train nearly ran over a drunk woman who fell off the platform …but thanks to people on the platform alerting the driver of the train, the drunk woman walked stumbled away. Video of the event can be seen here. I’m not here ...

  Popular Fidelity — Authority: 546
  There’s a very lucky woman in Boston today, and it’s all thanks to the alert eyes of Charice Lewis.  The subway conductor for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) was pulling into the station when she saw frantic waving from the platform.  That’s when she saw the face pop up in front of her ...

  Boston Brat — Authority: 128
  Since I am a daily North Station Orange Line commuter, I was intrigued when I first heard about this the other day. It hit a whole new level once the video was released this afternoon.

• North Shirtwaist Station?

  
  limeduck — Authority: 415
  I tried to exit North Station this morning and found two of the doors padlocked from the outside.  Not that it would have mattered if they were padlocked from the inside. Vandalism or overzealous security, it’s hard to say.  7:30 is not exactly the wee hours of the morning for commuting.  In the rare (ok, not ...

  Hub Politics — Authority: 124
  We’ve all had our fair share of unpleasant experiences on the MBTA, but few things are probably more horrifying than seeing someone fall onto the tracks just before a train is about to pull in . The driver of Boston subway train that came to a screeching halt just before hitting a woman who had fallen onto the ...

  The screw-ups just keep on coming for the Patrick administration.
